Despite being 31st in educational funding, New Mexico has ranked 50th in juvenile education for 8 years in a row per the Annie E. Casey foundation:

You can research for yourself and see other evidence that the educational outcomes for children in New Mexico is generally very, very poor.

Expect similar results with New Mexico's "universal" child care.

New Mexico is filled with poor people, news at 11. But seriously, a lot of things go into your state's education outcomes: state of the kids coming into the system is actually very important, as is parent participation, before we even get to funding by the state. As the only poor blue state, New Mexico has a lot to make up for, and it can't just magic its problems away.
