How to read these scores

What is NM-MSSA + NM-ASR?
NM-MSSA + NM-ASR is the statewide standardized test administered by New Mexico public schools.
What does "% Proficient" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 38.1% mean for English Language Arts at GADSDEN ELEMENTARY?
It means about 38.1 percent of students tested at GADSDEN ELEMENTARY performed at grade level or above on the NM-MSSA + NM-ASR English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for New Mexico that year was 44.2%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in New Mexico, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
New Mexico Public Education Department, NM-MSSA (ELA + Math) + NM-ASR (Science). School-level All Students subgroup from web.ped.nm.gov public CSV downloads. Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient + Above" rate (top 2 of 4 MSSA performance levels: Not Proficient / Nearing / Proficient / Advanced).
How often is it updated?
NM-MSSA + NM-ASR is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
