Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: There has been much discussion about the unintended consequences of so-called high-stakes testing in schools. This paper will concentrate on the attempts of some school administrators to purge the testing pool of students identified as potential low scorers. Data from a broad spectrum of Louisiana school districts representative of urban, rural, and suburban schools are used to determine if there is a significant effort to eliminate students from the testing pool by classifying students as learning disabled. Results indicate that in select districts the disproportionately high numbers of African Americans in special education programs do correspond to high district accountability scores. However, these school districts seem to be an exception rather than indicative of a trend in Louisiana public schools.
