At NewMexicoKidsCAN, we believe deeply in the promise of New Mexico students and in the responsibility we all share to deliver on that promise. Progress in public education happens when we are willing to look honestly at what’s working, confront what isn’t, and act with urgency on behalf of children and families across New Mexico.

That commitment to honesty and possibility is what drives the second edition of our State of Educational Opportunity in New Mexico survey. Produced in partnership with 50CAN and Edge Research, this survey centers the voices of parents through data from across the country. By doing so, we can better understand where confidence is growing, where gaps remain and where action is most urgently needed.
