Public Education Department Graduation Rates 2018-2019 New Mexico Public Education Department Background Info • Graduation Rates are one-year lagged • We use a Shared Accountability Model • “All schools attended by a student upon cohort assignment are held accountable for that student’s outcome in proportion to the amount of time enrolled at each school” • State Calculations do not employ the shared accountability framework (each student counts 100%) • Students excluded upon migration, transfer out of state, foreign exchange death Rate Calculation • PED calculates graduation rates after two-step verification process by the district or the school • Two-week window to confirm students in the cohort • Two-week window to verify outcomes from students in the cohort • After the review process we calculate the gradation rate where On-time graduates by year X -----------------------------------------------------------------[(First time 9th graders in year X-4) + (Transfers in) – (Transfers out)] Cohort Assignment: • Students are grouped into “cohorts” which is the same as “class of” • Cohorts are named for the student’s expected 4th year based on grade at entry • Some students need more than 4 years to graduate due to performance or interruption of studies. We account for these students in 5th and 6th year rates. 4 Year-Rate 5th 6th Year Year Rat Rat e e Grade Entry to PED HS Grade Grade 9 Year =2 Cohor Year =1 t of 2019 2016 2017 Grade 11 Year = 3 Grade 12 Year = 4 Year = 5 Year =6 2018 2019 2020 2021 PED gathers information on extra years but it is still called the “Cohort of 2019” Current Data 2018-2019 Grad Rate Rate Change from Last year 4-Year Rate 74.9% +1.0% 5-Year Rate 78.7% +2.3% 6-Year Rate 78.1% +0.2% State Historical Data Year 4 Year Cohort 5 Year Cohort 6 Year Cohort 2019 74.9% 2018 73.9% 78.7% 2017 71.1% 76.4% 78.1% 2016 2015 2014 71.0% 68.6% 69.3% 75.9% 75.0% 70.5% 77.9% 76.9% 79.0% Historical and National Rates NM Graduation Rates 10000.0% 9000.0% 8000.0% 8000.0% 7000.0% 7040.0% 8140.0% 8320.0% 8230.0% 7030.0% 6930.0% 6860.0% 2013 2014 2015 8410.0% 8460.0% 7100.0% 7110.0% 2016 2017 8530.0% 7390.0% 7490.0% 2018 2019 6000.0% 5000.0% 4000.0% 3000.0% 2000.0% 1000.0% 0.0% 2012 4 Year Rate 5 Year Rate 6 Year Rate USA 4 Year Rate USA Rate: https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/data_ta Historical and National Rates (Scaled Axis) NM Graduation Rates 9000.0% 8500.0% 8140.0% 8230.0% 8320.0% 8410.0% 8460.0% 8530.0% 8000.0% 8000.0% 7500.0% 7390.0% 7000.0% 7040.0% 7030.0% 6930.0% 7100.0% 7110.0% 2016 2017 7490.0% 6860.0% 6500.0% 6000.0% 2012 2013 4 Year Rate 2014 2015 5 Year Rate 6 Year Rate 2018 2019 USA 4 Year Rate USA Rate: https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/data_ta 4 Year Cohort Subgroup Breakdown Total students = 26092 Percent Graduated by Subgroup 9462 Male 10068 Female African American 406 4950 Caucasian Asian 408 11800 Hispanic Native American 1966 5994 English Learners 11604 Economically Disadvantaged 2423 Students with Disabilities 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 Total Number of Students Total Graduated 10000 12000 14000 16000 18000 Subgroup Female Male Caucasian African American Hispanic Asian Native American Economically Disadvantaged Students with Disabilities 2018 77.2% 70.6% 79.3% 2019 78.8% 71.1% 78.3% Change 1.6% 0.5% -1.0% 69.2% 73.1% 86.0% 67.0% 74.4% 85.4% -2.2% 1.3% -0.6% 65.8% 69.6% 3.8% 69.0% 69.7% 0.7% 65.6% 64.6% -1.0% Best Schools: 4 year Gradation Rate (cohort size>75) District School Grad Rate Albuquerque Public Schools Las Cruces Public Schools Rio Rancho Public Schools Rio Rancho Public Schools Artesia Public Schools Las Cruces Public Schools Albuquerque Public Schools Gadsden Independent Schools Farmington Municipal Schools Cobre Consolidated Schools Hobbs Municipal Schools Lovington Municipal Schools Gallup McKinley County Schools Farmington Municipal Schools Gadsden Independent Schools Las Cruces Public Schools Ruidoso Municipal Schools Las Cruces Public Schools The Masters Program Albuquerque Public Schools College And Career High School Early College High School V Sue Cleveland High School Rio Rancho High School Artesia High School Centennial High School Next Gen Academy Santa Teresa High School Farmington High School Cobre High School Hobbs High School Lovington High School Gallup High School Piedra Vista High School Gadsden High School Onate High School Ruidoso High School Las Cruces High School The Masters Program Volcano Vista High School 98.82 93.73 89.93 89.79 89.09 89.07 88.91 87.93 87.6 87.05 87.02 86.28 86.18 85.32 85.31 85.07 84.73 84.64 84.24 84.14 Executive Summary: • New Mexico’s 4-Year state graduation rate (74.9%) had a 1.0% increase • In line with national trends • New Mexico still lags behind the national grad 4 year grad rate (85.3%) by about 10 percentage points • Data is one year lagged; new policy innovations will reflect in future years reports Further Information • Subgroup and Ethnicity Breakdowns • Schools Included / Excluded • Student Level Rosters • Contact Daniel.barto2@nm.state.us
