Performance of Students with Disabilities Compared to General Education Students On 2003 Elementary English Language Arts By Need Resource Capacity

In 2003, there continue to be significant gaps in the performance of students with disabilities on the Grade 4 English Language Arts assessment between general education students (students without disabilities) and students with disabilities in each Need Resource category of school districts. As an example, in the Low Need school districts, 90.2 percent of general education students performed at or above Level 3 compared to 45.0 percent of students with disabilities. The gaps in performance are more significant in all other Need Resource categories of school districts.
