Christina A. Samuels reports that North East Independent School District, San Antonio, TX, 90 percent of the students with disabilities were assessed on grade-level standards.

Eleven schools were ranked as exemplary in 2005-06, up from just one school in 2004-05. All of the schools that had failed to make AYP the year before now met that standard. And 90 percent of the students with disabilities were assessed on grade-level standards.

Kudos, teachers, for helping these students accomplish more than they had earlier. And, thanks, administrators, for assisting teachers to have the resources to do their job.

You've raised the question about how much school disabilities are, at leas in part, a function of instruction, not only of each student's personal attributes.
