State Ratings in Special Education

This map shows the most current rating for each state’s performance under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which covers students from ages 3 to 21. (Note: All states were considered to have met requirements in 2004-05.) Click on each state to see ratings for previous years, as well as information from the Education Department explaining each state’s rating. Read related story.
