Important Context:

New Mexico aims to increase high school completion rates by providing research-based, relevant, applied, and experiential learning opportunities that prepare all students for college, careers, and civic engagement.

Other Considerations:

The graphs and map below look at the percentage of students who graduated from New Mexico high schools (public and charter schools) within four, five, and six years of high school enrollment and varied by key demographic factors. You can also see the graduation rate broken down by different demographics to see how these rates may differ for specific student populations or how these numbers change for different school districts and schools.

To see the map change, please use the filters at the top of the dashboard. Selecting a specific district (excluding a state charter school) will zoom in on the district in the map view. If a district or school is not showing up in a drop-down menu or in a given year, or if data is not available in a given year, it is due to a number of potential reasons. Some districts or schools in a drop-down menu or data in a given school year might be unavailable, not reported, or suppressed (in order to protect individual privacy when there is a small number of students). A slashed zero indicates suppressed data when distinguished from unavailable data. Some charts indicate both unavailable data and suppressed data by not showing anything.

Understanding the Impact of COVID-19:

As noted by the U.S. Department of Education, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on student learning and other outcomes related to education and workforce. Data reflecting the time period beginning in March of 2020 and beyond should be considered with this context.

Why does this matter?

RISE NM links information from all levels of education (including early childhood, K-12, and higher education) with workforce data to help us understand how people move and progress from school into their careers. Studying these patterns can help our state make better decisions as we aid New Mexicans in succeeding from cradle to career.

How to use the interactive dashboards:
