 NEW MEXICO SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS

RECEIVES ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS DESIGNATION

(SANTA FE, NM) New Mexico School for the Arts is proud to announce that it achieved Adequate Yearly Progress in 2011 under the Federal No Child Left Behind Act.  New Mexico School for the Arts congratulates its students for their work in achieving AYP designation.  The School also recognizes the NMSA faculty, staff, board and parents who supported these young people in their studies.  NMSA acknowledges the contribution of the dozens of schools from throughout New Mexico that prepared these students to excel academically while at NMSA.

In order to meet requirements for AYP, a school must achieve a 95 percent participation rate on state assessments and reach targets for proficiency in math and reading. All juniors at NMSA were tested in the spring of 2011.
