See Appendix 38 for definition of Need/Resource Capacity categories of school districts.
  • The data above illustrate the range of performance among different categories of school districts in terms of the type of credential students with disabilities achieve by the time they leave high school. For example, in the Low N/RC school districts, 29.0 percent of students who completed school earned a Regents diploma, compared with 1.9 and 2.5 percent in NYC and the large four cities, respectively.
