Students with Disabilities

Every DOE middle school and high school welcomes and serves students with disabilities according to their IEPs. Students with disabilities can apply to all middle schools and high schools and/or programs, including all programs with screened or audition admissions methods. When your child tests or auditions, we will provide any testing accommodations in their IEP as long as these accommodations do not change the skills or content the test is measuring.
