US EditionNew Mexico Voices for Children Breaks Down 2025 Kids Count
- The 2025 National Kids Count report, based on 2023 data across 16 well-being indicators, ranks New Mexico lowest in the nation for overall child welfare.
- This ranking reflects worsening school outcomes for young children, despite small improvements in graduation rates and beginning rollout of free childcare and pre-K in 2023.

- The report suggests urgent coordinated action is needed among leaders to improve educational outcomes, economic stability, and overall quality of life for New Mexico’s children and families.
