2009 MCAS Results: Students with Disabilities and Students Who Dropout
In the 2009 cohort group alone, almost 2,000 students with disabilities failed to pass at least one of the high school MCAS exams, and didn’t graduate on time. 72% of the students in the Class of 2009 who failed to pass one or more high school MCAS tests had a disability. High school students who fail the MCAS are 13 times more likely to drop out of school (Massachusetts Department of Education, 2009). Download PowerPoint slides of these MCAS Results
