High school reports reading gains and higher longer-term cohorts, but 4-year graduation below state
Summary
Staff reported the high school’s 2022–23 grade near 27.8 with low math and reading proficiency at that time, then said reading rose to about 26% after targeted work despite losing the English teacher; the four-year graduation rate was cited at about 71.5%.
Presenter, a school staff member, said the high school's Vistas grade for 2022–23 was about 27.8, with math and reading proficiency below 10% and science at about 16% that year. "Reading proficiency did improve from less than 10% and it's about 26% now," the presenter said, and attributed the gain in part to concentrated reading lessons and pacing despite losing the English teacher midyear.
Presenter also discussed graduation metrics, saying the four-year cohort graduation rate was about 71.5% compared with New Mexico's reported 76.7%, and noted the district has higher graduation rates when counting fifth- and six-year cohorts because many students require credit recovery after pandemic-era disruptions.
