However what they don't tell you is that even special ed students & foreign kids who don't even speak English are also used in the percentages and that is not fair.

This is absolutely true. The schools are judged by their overall scores, and these include all special ed classes.

My autistic students scribble on the test or play connect-the-bubble on the answer form. Even the two who are able to do the problems in the test can't manage the test format so they get zeros.

That's exactly what my wife told me although someone here argued that it was not the way it worked. I think you should test and then judge the students that are capable of actually passing the test with correct teaching. But you can't test someone when their best accomplishment in life will being able to fix a bowl of ceral without spilling the milk and making a mess.
