The portion of students with disabilities who have a learning disability can vary, but generally, learning disabilities make up a significant percentage of the overall population of students with disabilities. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and other educational resources, around 33% to 50% of students receiving special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) have specific learning disabilities.
For a more precise figure, it would be best to refer to the latest statistics from reputable educational organizations or government reports. If you're looking for up-to-date numbers, I recommend checking the latest reports from the NCES or the U.S. Department of Education.
