Special Education Student Performance
According to the "No Child Left Behind" Act (NCLB), all students including students with disabilities must be tested annually using statewide assessments. The performance of students with disabilities must be reported at the state, district, and school levels. Therefore, this report examines the performance of students with disabilities on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) and the State-Developed Alternative Assessment II (SDAA II) in the Houston Independent School District (HISD).
