State Report Card
Students with DisabilitiesAchievement Proficiency by Category of Students
with Disabilities
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT This table shows how students with disabilities performed on the regular state assessments. The table shows four categories of students with disabilities – IEP with and without accommodations and 504 Plan with and without accommodations – plus an aggregate of all students with disabilities. The tables show, for each category of student, what percentage reached the standard (attained proficiency) in the mathematics and English language arts (ELA) sections of the New Standards Reference Exams and in the Rhode Island Writing and Rhode Island Health Education assessments. The results are reported, and averages are computed, by school level – elementary school, middle school, and high school. The table also shows the total number of students, including those with and without disabilities, statewide and at each school level, eligible to take the state assessments, including the Alternate Assessment, and the percent proficient statewide in each test. Note: The number of eligible students may vary slightly from test to test; the numbers displayed in this table are for the New Standards Reference Exams in mathematics. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR You would like to see that a high percentage of students in all categories reached proficiency in all the state assessments. In addition, you would like to see that students with disabilities had about the same proficiency level (percent proficient) as students in the state as a whole. If the proficiency level (percent proficient) for any category of student falls significantly below the statewide average for proficiency, then there is an “equity gap” for that category. These gaps must be closed.
