In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found some issues on the Englewood Schools website that might make it hard for visitors with disabilities to use. For example, some text is hard to read because it doesn't stand out enough from the background, which can be a problem for people with low vision. To improve accessibility, fixing the contrast issues should be the first step. Keep in mind that automated scans like this one catch many problems, but not all of them, so further review is still needed.

Findings

3 issue types found on the homepage

Each item is one failing rule; the count shows how many elements on the page trigger it. Severity follows axe-core impact levels.

#1MajorWCAG 1.4.36 elementsRule details ↗

Text doesn't have enough contrast against its background

Light grey text on white, or text over photos, is hard or impossible to read for people with low vision or color blindness, and for anyone outdoors on a phone.

Who it affects

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

First fix

Use a darker text color or lighter background so the contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1 (3:1 for large text).

#2MajorWCAG 4.1.21 elementRule details ↗

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes

Ensure ARIA attributes are not prohibited for an element's role

Who it affects

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

First fix

Follow the guidance in the linked Deque rule page.

#3MajorWCAG 1.3.11 elementRule details ↗

List items are outside a list

Items are marked as list entries but not inside a list.

Who it affects

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

First fix

Wrap <li> elements in a <ul> or <ol>.

Severity guide

How to read the counts

Critical

Blocks a task outright for some visitors (for example an image-only flyer with no text, or a form field with no label).

Major

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

Minor

Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).

What this grade does and does not cover

  • Covers: the public homepage only, loaded once in a desktop browser, tested with axe-core against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA rules (a superset of the WCAG 2.1 AA standard in the DOJ rule).
  • Does not cover: inner pages, PDFs and documents, logged-in portals, video captions, alt-text quality, keyboard usability of custom widgets, or anything that needs a human judgment.
  • A grade is a monitoring signal, not a legal assessment or certification. How we score.
