What? Most of our SPED students with IEPs took the state exams.
Well, I guess it might be on a spectrum and might depend on if the individuals can take it. However, I'm pretty sure certain students can be exempt from exams, and the special education could be a reason for it.

NCLB and now ESSA/R3T require all students including SPED take the tests except those in Intensive Self-Contained, although IEP holders may take modified ones if that's specified in the IEP.

Yes. We had quite a few SPED students who had modifications, but not many who didn't take the tests at all.
When a student is an IEP, then that means they're in special education, in which case they're not gonna flunk either, because special education kids aren't tested the same way other kids are. If you put your daughter in an IEP, it means they won't test her at all and grades don't count.
Even within the educational community (teachers and counselors and administrators), I doubt if any particular aspect of education is less understood than special education. One year I had our sped chair develop 3 faculty meeting presentations for the staff (over 6 weeks) -- self-contained students, mainstreamed students, and the difference between (and requirements for) IEPs and 504s. And among the general public...wow, so many misconceptions.

I work in self-contained classes. The students as silly as it may sound have to take part in the state mandated civics test and major subject tests that any Arizona high school student takes. Most that I worked with this year, don't even have the slightest idea who was our first president or was a governor of Arizona. The tests are highly adaptive and geared towards the severity of the self-contained students so that is good. Much better than one-size fits all like the AZ Civics test.
