In 2004, there continue to be significant gaps in the performance of students with disabilities on the Grade 8 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, 78.4 percent of general education students performed at or above Level 3 compared to 21.8 percent of students with disabilities. Gaps in performance also exist in all other Need Resource categories of school districts.
