Welcome
The
National Center on Educational Outcomes provides national leadership in the participation
of students with disabilities in national and state assessments, standards-setting
efforts, and graduation requirements.
The NCEO Data Viewer
lets you view information related to students with disabilities and
create individualized reports based on criteria that you can
choose. Two major databases are currently available for your
use:
- State Policies on Assessment Participation and
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
