HCPS SCHOOLS NOT MEETING AYP FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES IN THE AREA OF
MATHEMATICS
Student Need
The percentage of all HCPS students achieving advanced or proficient in mathematics, as
measured by MSA in 2008, was 79.8 % (+18.9% above the AMO of 60.9%) compared to 49.2%
(-11.7% below the AMO) of special education students achieving advanced or proficient. There
is a 30.6 percentage point gap in the performance of all students and special education students
for MSA mathematics. As grade level increases, the performance of students with disabilities in
the area of mathematics is declining or not making adequate gains; therefore, HCPS is at risk of
significantly failing to meet the 2014 performance targets of 100% proficiency as mandated in
the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
