Can the special education diploma be counted for AYP?

The special education diploma does not meet the federal criteria to be counted as a high school diploma when calculating the graduation rate for AYP. Only those high school diplomas which are tied to a rigorous curriculum meet the requirements for graduation rate. The special education diploma, the high school certificate as well as students who drop out are not counted as receiving a high school diploma when calculating graduation rate.
