Must a student with a disability be given grades in a general education classroom?
It depends. If grades are the standard used for granting general education credit, students with disabilities enrolled in that class should receive grades. Grades provide a measure of the student’s mastery of a particular subject area, and provide the IEP team with information to make appropriate educational decisions.
