New Mexico remains DEAD-LAST in “Nation’s Report Card” NAEP results

Michelle Lujan Grisham’s failed COVID lockdowns did serious harm to already-lagging New Mexico student outcomes in the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in which New Mexico students were ranked last across ALL categories 4th and 8th grade reading and 4th and 8th grade math.

With the release of 2024 NAEP numbers we see yet again that New Mexico students rank at the VERY bottom in each of the same categories.

In 4th grade reading New Mexico scored 201 which ranked us 52nd (behind all 50 states, DC, and DoD schools). Alaska students were 2nd lowest at 202.

In 8th grade reading New Mexico scored 245 which again ranked us 52nd. Alaska students were again 2nd-lowest at 246.

In 4th grade math New Mexico scored 224 which again ranked us 52nd. Alaska students were again 2nd-lowest at 226.

In 8th grade math New Mexico scored 256 which again ranked us 52nd. West Virginia at 261 was 2nd-lowest.
