SE scores for Students with IEPs

[AW]

Is there any guidance anywhere regarding the cut off scores for students with IEPs?
<div id=”edo-message”>I know the schools are expected to take a certain percentage of students with IEPs, but, again, what does that realistically mean? What are the criteria? I haven’t seen anything published anywhere and the school</div>
<div>just shrugs their shoulders.</div>
<div id=”edo-message”></div>
<div id=”edo-message”>This seems unfair, and frankly inequitable. As he prepares for the test, he’s aiming for an unknown goal. While everyone else is working towards a specific score, or outcome, he is expected to prepare similarly. Yet, the net effect is that he works almost twice as hard because of his learning differences and has less visibility into his options.</div>
<div id=”edo-message”></div>
<div id=”edo-message”>We also need to know which options may be realistic for him. As other children get their scores back, they will have some idea of where they can go. My son won’t.</div>

I agree. The cut off scores for IEP student should be accessible. I also wonder about the selection process for IEP students. To my understanding, 30% of the seats go to top scored students regardless of their tier. Then there’s 70%of the seats left, which will be divided equally into each tier. So, where does IEP fall into? Do they select rank(top 30% test score), then allocate a certain percentage for IEP, then start giving out seats to the rest of the students in each tier??

AW, if you find out about cut off, would you please share it? Thank you,

They probably do not publish cut-scores for IEP students because, given the low number of students, the scores are quite variable from year to year.

My understanding is that the % of IEP students at each SEHS is supposed to reflect the % of IEP students total in the district, which is about 7%.

Thank you HS. But it does not necessarily means SEHSs will give 15% of seats to IEP students.
I asked during open house how many IEP students they have currently at their school which was one of the top SEHSs. The number was very very low, nowhere near 30%. Somewhere near 7% or so.
To look at the bright side, it means less IEP students to handle per each teacher. That means more individual attention for each kid.
