This document summarizes the 1982 Supreme Court case Board of Education v. Rowley regarding whether a deaf student named Amy Rowley was receiving a free and appropriate public education under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (now IDEA). The Supreme Court established that schools must provide some educational benefit to disabled students, not guarantee any particular level of education. The Court found Amy's school district was meeting legal standards despite Amy not reaching her full academic potential. This established the "Rowley test" for determining appropriate education that remains influential today.
