New Mexico's high school graduation rate is 76.7%, but for more than 64,000 students, it's 95%.
That's thanks to the state's Career Technical Education programs, which offer high school courses focused on career technical areas such as law enforcement, architecture, manufacturing, information technology, and health sciences, the Albuquerque Journal reports.
"They observed how millions in new state investments, and changes to graduation requirements, set up a successful path for students participating in career tech classwork that want to enter the workforce right out of high school," Janelle Taylor Garcia, the state's public education secretary, says in a press release.
The state has devoted $40 million to CTE programs since 2013, and grants have been made available at the local level, KOAT reports.
"The instruction on those areas provided students with realistic hands-on experience at school," says Taylor Garcia, who last school year visited schools in three districts.
