根据立法财务委员会最近的一份报告，2019 年至 2023 年，新墨西哥州公立学校长期旷课率增幅居全国首位，40% 的学生缺课时间超过 10%。 New Mexico leads the nation in the highest increase of chronic absenteeism in public schools from 2019 to 2023, with 40% of students missing over 10% of the school days, according to a recent Legislative Finance Committee report. 长期旷课被定义为缺课超过10％的上课天数（在180天的学年中缺课18天），与阅读和数学能力下降以及高中毕业率降低有关。 Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing more than 10% of the school days (18 days in a 180-day school year), is linked to lower reading and math proficiency and high school graduation rates. 同期全国平均水平增长了71%。 The national average increased by 71% during the same period.
