The focus of this program is students with disabilities and how these schools have met or exceeded state standards for overall test performance.

I think the notable thing is the variety of schools on the list. We have the gamut, from urban schools to small schools in rural areas. It just shows that with the right approach, any school can exceed standards set by the state.

What we really hope is that schools will one of their neighboring schools on this list and contact them to find out what steps they have taken to help them reach this level of achievement.
