Abstract	The poor quality of many school systems is a serious impediment to social mobility for children from low-income and minority families, who cannot easily pick up and move to communities with good schools. The number of students taking college remediation classes has soared, and too many students graduate high school underprepared to enter either college or the workforce. A new model is emerging from cities that have embraced profound systems change, including New Orleans, Denver, Washington, D.C., and Camden, New Jersey. All have experienced rapidly improving student outcomes as a result. These four cities are building 21st century school systems, founded upon the four pillars of school autonomy, accountability for performance, diversity of school designs, and parental choice. Essentially, 21st century school systems treat many of their public schools like charter schools, even if they call them "innovation schools," "partnership schools," or "Renaissance schools." Although transforming the K-12 education system to meet the needs of the modern era is primarily the responsible of state and local governments, Congress can create financial incentives for states that strengthen charter authorizing and for districts that create autonomous schools, hold schools accountable for performance, and replace failing schools.
