The world of education is ever changing as students are preparing for jobs that have yet to be created. Students who are raised in a home with a low socioeconomic background face additional challenges and are more likely to be one of the 6,700,000 students who receive special education services. This research examined the impact assessed valuation of school districts in the state of Missouri had on the percentage of students receiving special education services from 2012-2017. This research will provide data and recommendations to administrators and educators to assist to better educate this rapidly growing category of students. Though no statistically significant relationship between assessed valuation and special education percentages was found, the researcher did discover trends in special education growth during the years studied. This correlation study will also provide an insight into the impact of poverty and property taxes on the education of all students.
