Yes. In order to show AYP, schools must test at least 95% of the various individual student groups, including students with disabilities and those with limited English Proficiency. Accommodations may include reading tests to students or allowing extra time to interpret tests. In the future, the Department will offer native language versions of the assessments for limited English proficient groups numbering 5000 or more.
