Sciences is evaluating how schools 

being required to adopt programs 

focused on improving academic 

outcomes for students with disabilities. 

The focus of the study is examining 

trends in achievement among students 

with disabilities in both schools that are 

and are not accountable for the 

performance of those students. In 

addition, the study focuses on 

describing improvement efforts in 

schools that have failed to make 

adequate yearly progress for students 

with disabilities in particular grades and 

subjects. The evaluation will use 

EdFacts data as well as data from 

surveys of school principals and special 

education designees about their school 

improvement practices. The study will 

use descriptive statistics and regression 

analysis to study how student outcomes 

and school practices vary with the 

identification of elementary and middle 

schools for improvement.

Education uses this data to calculate 

fellowship amounts and the total grant 

amount sent to each institution for each
