New Mexico ranked #4 in Charter School Accountability

?

According to an article released in Santa Fe by the New Mexico Public Education Department, New Mexico ranked #4 in the United States for charter school accountability.

A recent study released by the National Alliance For Public Charter Schools, moved New Mexico up 16 places from 2011. The report, Measuring Up to the Model: A Ranking of State Charter School Laws, recognizes New Mexico for the quality of its charter school laws including strengthened performance-based charter contract requirements.

Governor Susana Martinez signed a new law in 2011 which would require annual evaluations for accountability and contracts between charter schools and authorizers as well as provide a means to revoke a charter from any school not meeting requirements in student achievement.

Governor Martinez expressed, ?Our efforts to reform education in New Mexico include making sure all schools serve every student. This report shows, once again, education reform is making New Mexico a national leader.?

Today, New Mexico charter schools serve over 17,000 students in over 80 schools across the state.

The Public Education Department is aggressively working to finalize the law signed in 2011 which will bring stronger accountability to charter schools along with New Mexico's new A-F School Grading System.
