Overview
State leaders in New Mexico have taken a number of steps to advance high school transformation, starting with the establishment of policies that enable students to earn credit toward graduation through demonstrations of competency across all content areas. In January 2022, the New Mexico Department of Education published the New Mexico Comprehensive College and Career Pathways Assessment Report, which served as the launching pad for the state’s Innovation Zones.
To build on these efforts, state leaders could consider transparently and publicly reporting, for each high school, disaggregated data on graduates’ enrollment and progress in postsecondary education.
