This report discusses the findings of a study that examined the participation and performance of students with disabilities in the 1996 Minnesota Basic Standards Tests in reading and mathematics. Results indicated that approximately 70 percent of Minnesota's 8th grade students with disabilities participated in the Basic Standards Tests during the 1995-1996 school year, compared to participation rates of about 85 percent overall for students without disabilities. Participation varied by disability category, as well as by content area. In reading, the lowest participation rate was demonstrated by students with moderate-severe mental impairments, followed by students with autism. The higher participation rates in reading were demonstrated by students with speech/language disabilities, followed by other health impairments, and students with learning disabilities. In math, the lowest and highest participation rates were found in the same categories as for reading. The overall passing rate for students without disabilities was approximately 70 percent. In contrast, only 24 percent of the test-takers with disabilities passed the Basic Standards Test in reading. For the Basic Standards Test in math, 83 percent of students without disabilities passed the test, while students with disabilities passed the test at a much lower rate, at about 38 percent.
