In compliance with the Indian Education Act (NMSA1976 Section 22), the purpose of the Tribal Education Status Report (TESR) is to inform stakeholders of the Public Education Department's (PED) current initiatives specific to American Indian students and their educational progress. This report examines both the current conditions and recent trends in the education of New Mexico's American Indian students and provides action steps to strengthen existing programs or propose new activities to yield a positive outcome for American Indian students. Data for the 12 reporting areas for 2017-2018 was gathered from the 23 school districts and 6 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, 14 submitted a districtwide Tribal Education Status Report that supports the following sections: school safety; parent and community involvement; and education programs targeting tribal students that incorporated Indigenous research, evaluation, and curricula. The numbers for Native American students have generally improved within the last three years. Data indicates that New Mexico's American Indian students made significant gains in reading by 8.2 percent, slight gains in their proficiencies for math by 4 percent, and maintained a steady proficiency level in science.
