A NEW STUDY SHOWS THAT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH HIGH SCHOOLERS IN NEW MEXICO ARE GRADUATING. THE REPORT FROM A GROUP CALLED BUILDING A GRAD NATION SHOWS NEW MEXICO HAD A GRADUATION RATE OF 68 AND A HALF PERCENT FOR THE CLASS OF 2014…AND THAT WAS THE WORST IN THE NATION.
THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THAT NO STATE HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE…AND THAT’S A KEY FACTOR. THE NATIONAL GRADUATION RATE IS MORE THAN 82 PERCENT…AND IOWA IS NUMBER ONE AT MORE THAN 90 PERCENT.
