Performance of Students with Disabilities On Middle-Level English Language Arts By Need Resource Capacity 2003

In 2003, there continue to be significant gaps in the performance of students with disabilities on the Grade 8 English Language Arts assessment between Need/Resource categories of school districts. Lower percentages of students with disabilities in the High Need school districts (New York City, Large 4 Cities, Urban Suburban school districts and Rural school districts) perform at or above Level 2 and also at or above Level 3 compared to Average or Low Need school districts. As an example, 3.5 percent of students with disabilities performed at or above Level 3 in New York City while 20.0 percent of students with disabilities performed at or above Level 3 in the Low Need school districts.
