The data above illustrate a measure of
the range of performance among different categories of school
districts in terms of the types of post-school plans students with
disabilities have, which may be indicative of students educational
achievement by the time they are ready to leave school. For
example, 73.0 percent of students who completed school in the Low
Need school districts planned to attend a two-year, four-year or
other type of college program compared in 33.4 percent of students
from NYC schools.
