At PRiME, we are committed to providing information on all students: public, private, charter, and homeschooled. PRiME has chosen to take a deeper look into schools focusing exclusively on serving students receiving special education services. In PRiME’s first Special Education Profile, we take a closer look at three state schools (MO School for the Blind, MO School for the Deaf, and MO Schools for the Severely Disabled) and two special school districts (one in St. Louis County and one in Pemiscot County). We will also cover Special Education Cooperatives, where multiple districts work together to serve students with special education needs. In this report, we hope to provide detailed information about these schools and to shine a spotlight on the work they do for students throughout the state.
