Tribal Education Status Report, 2018-2019

Overview & Synopsis

This compliance report provides information regarding American Indian students' public school performance and how performance is measured. This information is shared with legislators, educators, tribes, communities and is disseminated at the semiannual government-to-government meetings. The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) is required by statute to provide this compliance report annually so that education and tribal communities can make informed decisions about how to meet the academic and cultural needs of American Indian students and improve outcomes. Indian education stakeholders and other education institutions may use the data in this report for local planning and improvement processes focused on improving the quality of education for American Indian students. The data in this report was gathered from the 23 school districts and 7 charters that serve a significant population of American Indian students or have tribal lands located within their school boundaries. The data collected includes student achievement, attendance, school district initiatives, and drop out and graduation rates. Of the 23 school districts, 21 submitted a districtwide Tribal Education Status Report (TESR) that supports the following sections: school safety; parent and community involvement; and education programs targeting tribal students that incorporated Indigenous research, evaluation, and curricula.
