State Report Card
Students with Disabilities
Participation of Students with Disabilities
on the English Language Arts New Standards Reference Exam
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
The two pie charts on the left present information
about the characteristics of the student population in Rhode Island.
The first chart shows what percentage of Rhode Island students have
disabilities; it also shows among the students with disabilities
what percentage have Individual Education Programs and what percentage
have 504 plans. The next chart shows demographic information about
the state’s students with disabilities who have IEPs.
The three charts to the right show, by school
level, how many students with IEPs are identified as students with
disabilities when they take the state assessments. All students
participate in either the regular state assessments or the Alternate
Assessment. But the state cannot link each of the students with
disabilities with his or her examinations. Thus, these charts show
that a certain percentage of students with disabilities took the
examinations but when the results are disaggregated (i.e., broken
down by student group) they are not counted among the students with
disabilities.
