3 New Mexico 1 Are ALL children receiving a highquality education in New Mexico? Not yet. Education in New Mexico is at a critical juncture: For the first time in the history of the state, its younger generation will be less educated than the elder generation. 1 Only 5% of 18- to 24-year-olds, and 21% of those aged 25 to 34 in New Mexico, have a bachelor s degree or higher, compared to 28% of those aged 45 to 64. Nationally, young people are earning postsecondary degrees at a higher rate: 9% of 18- to 24-year-olds and 31% of 25- to 34-year-olds have a bachelor s degree. 2 New Mexico has unique obstacles to overcome to provide a high-quality education to all of its students. It is one of the least densely populated states in the nation, with only 6.3 people per square mile, which creates challenges for ensuring all students have access to high-quality teachers. New Mexico also faces exceptional hurdles in educating students on large Indian reservations. With a 60% Hispanic and 10% Native American student population, New Mexico s majority-minority status means it is all the more important to increase academic success for every student and close the achievement gap. 3 In the last couple of years, New Mexico has taken steps to increase college and career readiness and address low achievement levels. Through the Kids First, New Mexico Wins plan, the New Mexico Public Education Department has established the expectation that all students in New Mexico, regardless of background, have the potential to reach high levels of achievement. New initiatives that focus on early literacy, higher standards, and school accountability hold much promise. The state also has ambitious plans to completely change measures of teacher effectiveness. While these are important steps, the next few years will be critical to ensure that these initiatives are fully implemented, and that by 2015 all students in the state are held to college- and career-ready standards. The next generation of students in New Mexico can t afford for things not to change. New Mexico at a Glance 4 Number of students 337,882 Number of schools 831 Number of school districts 89 Number of charter schools 96 Free or reduced lunch 66.2% White 26% Hispanic 60% Black 2% Native American 10% Asian 1% Multiracial 1% High school graduation rate 63% Has the state received a No Child Left Behind waiver? YES Is the state or district a Race to the Top Grant recipient? NO
4 New Mexico 2 How are New Mexico schools failing their students? New Mexico needs more educated workers to fill high-skill jobs. More than 60% of jobs in New Mexico will require a career certificate or degree by 2020, but only 29% of adults in the state currently have these qualifications. 5 New Mexico will require nearly 50,000 employees with degrees in the science, technology, health care, engineering, and mathematics fields in the next six years. 6 Only 1% of students from New Mexico who enroll in a four-year public college or university graduate in four years. 7 Estimates for 2008 indicate that out of 100 ninthgraders in New Mexico, 12 completed college, compared to a national average of Approximately 270,000 New Mexico adults between the ages of 18 and 64 do not have a high school diploma. 9 New Mexico s Educational Pipeline Estimate for 100 9th Graders Share that graduates from college Attrition during college Attrition between high school and college Attrition from 9th to 12th grade Not enough New Mexico students graduate from high school prepared for college or the workforce. Nearly 60% of students entering two-year public college are enrolled in remediation courses. Of those students, only 7% complete remediation and graduate within three years. 10 Almost $5 billion would be added to New Mexico s economy by 2020 if students of color graduated at the same rate as white students. 11 If New Mexico s high schools graduated all students ready for college, the state would save almost $31.8 million a year in community college remediation costs and lost earnings.

5 New Mexico 3 Not enough New Mexico students attend high-quality schools and meet standards for proficiency in reading and math. As New Mexico prepares to complete the implementation of college- and career-ready standards and aligned assessments, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) shows that most students in the state are not proficient in reading and math, despite high passing scores on the state s test. 12 In addition, there are significant socioeconomic achievement gaps 85% of low-income eighthgrade students are not proficient in math, and 84% of low-income eighth-grade students are not proficient in reading. Nearly all English language learners students are not proficient in either subject. 13 Of New Mexico s 147 high schools, 41 are considered among the nation s lowest-performing high schools, defined as schools where fewer than 60% of freshmen progress to their senior year on time. 14 Nearly 600 of the state s 831 public schools received a grade of C, D, or F for the school year on the state s new A F grading system. 15 New Mexico 2011 NAEP Scores Percentage Not Proficient % 79% 76% 78% Grade 4 Grade 8 Reading Math What is New Mexico doing to improve schools and prepare students to meet college- and career-ready standards? Implementing state standards and assessments aligned to college- and career-ready standards. In 2010, New Mexico adopted the New Mexico Common Core State Standards (NMCCSS) and became a governing state in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). For the school year, full implementation of the new standards begins in grades K 3 for mathematics and English language arts, with teachers receiving the support and structure needed to implement the new standards in the classroom. 3 Common Core Standards in reading and math. New Mexico is committed to implementing standards in reading and math aligned to the Common Core by Assessments aligned to CCSS. New Mexico plans to administer the new PARCC assessment aligned to the CCSS starting in the school year. New online assessments will be administered four times a year in grades three through eight in reading and math. To prepare students for the new testing system, NMPED is building a new Bridge Assessment aligned to the NMCCSS as well as its current standards, which will be administered for the school year. 3 Emphasis on early literacy. New Mexico s early reading initiative, New Mexico Reads to Lead!, is designed to ensure that children can read by the end of third grade giving them essential skills for future career and college success. The initiative funds a reading K 3 Formative Assessment System provided to districts at no cost. It also provides regional and district reading coaches, supports for intervention, and professional development for parents, teachers, reading coaches, and administrators. 17 W
6 New Mexico 4 What to Watch: 3 Implementation of NMCCSS in all grades. New Mexico and its school districts need to complete the implementation of the new standards, and a curriculum aligned to those standards, by Establishment of performance standards for new assessment. According to its approved Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) waiver, New Mexico has not yet set expectations for proficiency in reading and math for the new PARCC assessment. Holding all schools accountable for meeting state standards. Real Accountability, Real Results is the state s new accountability system, created by New Mexico s A F School Grading Act, which was signed and passed during the 2011 legislative session. The grading system incorporates proficiency and growth, with a particular focus on the growth of the lowest quartile of students in each school. The grading system also includes, for high schools, graduation rates and college- and career-readiness factors Accountability for all students. New Mexico disaggregates and reports school grade results by the traditional subgroups and also plans to target interventions based on those subgroups. The A F School Grading System, however, emphasizes the growth of the bottom quartile of students in each school instead of achievement of student subgroups. According to the state s approved ESEA waiver, under the new accountability system, more schools are held accountable for low-performing subgroups than under their previous system, which used adequate yearly progress for accountability Consequences for low-performing schools. Under its waiver application, New Mexico will require interventions across all schools that perform similarly under its A F School Grading System. The state will identify and intervene in priority schools, focus schools, and an additional group of strategic schools. 3 High achievement goals. New Mexico has established student growth targets for proficiency and growth. The targets are based on the goal of helping each school reach the 90th percentile of current school performance. 3 Transparent school grading reports. New Mexico posts parent-friendly school grading reports on its website. 20 What to Watch 3 Transitioning grading system to new assessments. New Mexico does not have a plan for transitioning to new assessments, holding schools continually accountable throughout that upcoming transition, or providing options to students in schools identified as failing under the state s grading system The lowest-achieving schools need to get better! Too many students are in poorly performing schools. Are the interventions for struggling schools helping? Will the proportion of students attending A- and B-rated schools increase as standards increase?
7 New Mexico 5 Improving teacher effectiveness. In 2011, New Mexico s Effective Teaching Task Force delivered a set of recommendations to the governor outlining a plan for recruiting, retaining, and rewarding New Mexico s most effective teachers and school leaders. The Task Force noted that while % of New Mexico teachers received a rating of meets competency on their evaluations in 2010, the state is not seeing corresponding success in student achievement. 22 Recognizing that great teachers make a difference, the recommendations included replacing the state s overly simplistic teacher and principal evaluation systems with annual evaluations that incorporate student achievement and provide teachers and leaders with actionable feedback on performance. The Task Force also recommended that the state revamp professional development requirements to align with performance evaluations and implement new teacher compensation strategies that diversify teacher pay, incentivize teaching in subject shortage areas and high-need schools, and tie teacher and principal salaries to performance. The Task Force set the stage for improved teaching and learning. In the meantime, New Mexico should focus attention on the following: 6 Annual evaluations. Currently, New Mexico does not require annual evaluations of all teachers. Nor does New Mexico require teacher evaluations that factor in student achievement. 6 Pay for performance. New Mexico does not have any pay-for-performance programs or compensation strategies for effective teachers who teach in high-needs schools or shortage area subjects. 6 Ineffectiveness in the classroom. New Mexico does not ensure that ineffective teaching is grounds for teacher dismissal. 23 What to Watch: 3 Implementation of Task Force recommendations. New Mexico aims to adopt strategies to retain rock star teachers, but it remains to be seen whether the state will implement annual, high-quality, and performance-based evaluations of teacher and principal effectiveness and other strategies to identify, support, recruit, and retain highly effective teachers.
8 New Mexico 6 What options are available for parents who want something better for their child? Offering public school choice, charter schools, and online learning. In 2011, New Mexico took steps to strengthen its charter school law. While it still caps the number of schools, it allows for some growth. However, the number of students attending a school of choice is relatively small. 3 Strong charter school law. New Mexico has one of the strongest charter school laws in the country. Six percent of its students attend charter schools. 3 Options for students in failing schools. Under the new A F School Grading system, parents of a student in a school rated F for two of the prior four years may transfer their child to a higher-performing school or enroll their child in an online learning program. If the parents elect to send their child to a school within the same district, the district must cover the cost of transportation. 3 Virtual classroom options. The Innovative Digital Education and Learning (IDEAL-NM) program provides elearning services to New Mexico PK 12 schools, higher education institutions, and government agencies. This initiative helps reduce geographic and capacity barriers to educational opportunity while increasing the digital literacy skills students need to participate in a global economy. 24 What to Watch: 3 Implementation of choice for failing schools. How well are parents being informed of their options? What meaningful choice options are available to students in failing schools, and how many of those students are taking advantage of better-performing schools? How are school boards selected for school districts in New Mexico? School district governance in New Mexico. To bring about change in your school district, be sure to know when your school board elections take place. Elections for school board members are scheduled in each school district on the first Tuesday in February of each odd-numbered year. The full term of office for a local school board member is four years from March 1. The terms are staggered so that the entire board is never up for election at the same time. 25
