SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico legislative report suggests that elementary school student proficiency in reading and math has fallen significantly since the coronavirus pandemic began. The report says that the proficiency level dropped from 37% in the 2018-2019 school year to 31% in the 2020-2021 school year. Legislative analysts say in the report issued Wednesday that testing data from the spring is imperfect because of low participation and that the new proficiency level may actually be lower than 31%. The report has generated discussions among legislators about the hours or days that children are in school.
