New Mexico Public Education Dept (NM PED, nmvistas.org) provides district-level data. County level results below are estimated based on weighted averages across the four districts. (See Sources/Notes at the bottom of the page for links and more information.)

For comparison, across New Mexico (2025-26), 26% of students are proficient in Math, 43% in Reading and 33% in Science. According to the most recent national comparisons (2024), New Mexico ranked 50th for 4th and 8th grade math and reading proficiency.

Early Child Proficiency & Readiness

Early childhood enrollment and school readiness are important predictors of children's long-term academic, social, and economic success. Early education also acts as an equalizer, bridging vocabulary and resource gaps that may exist between different socio-economic backgrounds before kindergarten even begins. (See Sources/Notes at the bottom of the page for links and more information.)

In public school districts across New Mexico, Early Proficiency Assessments in Literacy and Math are administered with kindergarteners through 2nd graders, aimed at assessing proficiency and readiness for on-grade instruction.

For comparison, across New Mexico, 40.5% of K-2nd graders demonstrate readiness for on-grade instruction in literacy, and 48.6% achieve proficiency (readiness) in math.

Additional county-wide data (below) come from a separate assessment, the Early Development Instrument.

Early childhood (pre-k) enrollment and Early Development (EDI) results for San Juan County are shown below.

Across San Juan County, just over one-third (35%) of children age 3-4 are enrolled in school, compared to 40% across New Mexico and 46% across the U.S. (Census ACS, 2020-24).

The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a measure of child development and school readiness with kindergarten-age children. Results provide a snapshot of their progress across five developmental domains (physical, social, emotional, language/cognitiive and communication/knowledge).

Results below the percentage of children who are "At Risk" and "Vulnerable" on one or more domains, and those who are "On Track" on all five domains. (See sources/notes for references to additional data and information.)
