regular assessment with accommodations (percent = c divided by times 100): 1,233 or 4.56%
d. Number of children with IEPs in grades assessed who are proficient or above as measured
against the alternate assessment against grade level standards (percent = d divided by a times
100): Not applicable
e. Number of children with IEPs in grades assessed who are proficient or above as measured
against alternate achievement standards (percent = e divided by a times 100): 624 or 2.31%

For literacy in 2004-05, there were 44 districts with a reportable disability subgroup. One
district met the State AYP objectives resulting in 2.27% of districts meeting AYP objectives.

In the grade level group of K-5 zero of five districts met AYP objectives (0%). While the
grade level group of 6-8 had eight of 42 districts reach AYP objectives (19.05%).
Furthermore, the grade level group of 9-12 yielded 16 of 27 districts meeting AYP objectives

Assessment Participation
Regular Assessment Participation
The benchmark for measuring this performance target is that by the year 2005, 95 % of all
students with disabilities will participate in the State assessment program, with or without
accommodations. The average participation rate for students with disabilities in Grades 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, and 11 is 95.46%.
After 5 years of testing students in grades 4, 6, 8, and 11 on the statewide benchmark exams,
the State added the grades of 3, 5, and 7 for the 2004-2005 school year. Previous standards
and cut scores were set and calculated using only the scores from students in grades of 4, 6,
8, and 11. New cut scores were established in the 2004-2005 school year to encompass the
new grades of 3, 5, and 7.
