Well, the Strib and the Press have been printing the reading and math scores, school by school, for every school in Minnesota, for many many years. I've only been paying attention to it for about 12 years, so I know it's at least that long. And, you could always find out about the "sub-groups" performance from the department, they had the statistics and you could find out who the kids were who didn't pass. As for "fixing" the schools -- who do you think is going to "fix" all these schools? I agree with you that we should concentrate of the lousy schools which need drastic restructuring, but I don't think that NCLB or not, there is the money to do what needs to be done to "fix" those schools.
