Funding

How New Mexico funds schools

New Mexico funds districts through the Public School Finance Act and its State Equalization Guarantee (SEG): the Legislature sets one statewide appropriation, divided by the total of weighted program units to produce a single unit value — $6,553.75 per unit for 2024–25 — that every district is paid against. Units are weighted by grade and by at-risk, bilingual and special-education need, and local operational property-tax capacity is credited against the state share, so this is an equalized, largely state-funded system. The Martinez-Yazzie sufficiency ruling continues to drive increases in at-risk funding.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Pecos School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

New Mexico’s ESSA accountability and report-card system is NM Vistas, which rates schools and districts on proficiency, growth, English-language progress, college-and-career readiness and graduation rate. Look up Pecos School District on NM Vistas.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

New Mexico accredits public districts itself: the Public Education Department conducts an annual accreditation review under 6.19.4 NMAC, assigning each district an approval status rather than relying on a private accreditor. See the New Mexico PED for a district’s accreditation status.
