The Private Schools industry in the US is an $84.7 billion industry and is expected to increase faster than the economy overall. NeuroNest Academy focuses on a niche segment in that industry that has also shown a lot of potential for growth. In the U.S. overall, 14.4 percent of all students were special education students (ages 3-21) in 2019-20. Eleven percent of all students with disabilities have been diagnosed with autism alone, according to 2019-20 data, this almost doubled from 5.8.
The most recent U.S. Department of Education statistics show the student-teacher ratio for special education steadily rising from 2006 to 2016. The current rate of more than 17 to 1 is now higher than the overall student-teacher ratio in general education. This will drive more students to private schools that can offer smaller class sizes which benefits the special needs students.
