For this assignment I went through and found the four closest income per capita states to West Virginia. They are in order of lowest to highest Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Utah and Kentucky. These are the five lowest incomes in the United States and their combined average is 28568. I then went through and found the number of students with IEP's for each of the five states. The number of students is shown in the pie graph provided. The states are from lowest number of students to highest are West Virginia, Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi and Kentucky. In comparing the number of student to the per capita income I was surprised to see that West Virginia did have the lowest number of students. The per capita income was also very low and would lead one to expect a higher number of students to have an IEP. This was overall an interesting assignment in seeing the comparisons with the other lower income states.
