Abstract
In this investigation, the degree to which students with disabilities were considered college-ready in (a) reading, (b) mathematics, and (c) both subjects between the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years was addressed. Statistically significant differences were revealed in college readiness rates in reading, mathematics, and both subjects between these two school years. In all three-subject areas, students with disabilities performed higher on the 2017-2018 statewide assessments than on the 2016-2017 assessments, indicating positive growth. A more concerning finding revealed that less than 12%, 8%, and 5% of students in special education, respectively, were college-ready in reading, mathematics, and both subjects.
