The DOE shares test results to help families and educators understand the performance of New York City schools in recent years. Examples of testing accommodations include-but are not limited to-large-print or Braille exams, frequent breaks during the testing window, reading the items aloud, or testing in a small-group location, among other accommodations. Students with disabilities who have Individualized Education Programs or 504 Plans, English Language Learners and some Former English Language Learners are eligible for accommodations. These accommodations mitigate the potential effects of these restrictions and enables students to accurately demonstrate their skills and knowledge, independent of these potential effects.Įligibility for testing accommodations are determined on a student-by-student basis and may vary by exam. Testing accommodations are available for students with disabilities or limited English proficiency in order to provide an opportunity for them to participate equally with their peers that do not experience similar restrictions.
