High school graduation: The NGA cohort rate requires that students be given 4 full years to graduate, including the summer following their 12th grade year. New Mexico implemented its first 4-year graduation rate in 2009, and is part of an elite group of 20 states that publicly report the data prior to the federally mandated date of 2011. New Mexico’s Shared Accountability model, which apportions student outcomes across all high schools for mobile students, is being studied by the National Governor’s Association (NGA) as an innovative solution for other states. In this baseline year, 60% of students in public education are known to graduate in 4 years. Since this rate includes students who would normally be allowed longer under the NGA guidelines, it serves as a rigorous reference point from which to depart.
Disparities in college enrollment: Percentage of youth enrolled in higher education by raceethnicity, age 18-24 from the NM Department of Higher Education.

Domestic violence prevention & services: Programs represented in this graph include: CYFD: Domestic Violence Services; PED: Domestic Violence Curriculum.

Services include health care, child protective services, mental health, and law enforcement agencies, as well as courts and community-based domestic violence programs. For an overview of efforts to prevent violence at the federal level, see: Dahlberg LL, Mercy JA. History of violence as a public health issue. AMA Virtual Mentor, February 2009.
