7. CS Education in New Mexico
Summary points-
The enrollment numbers show that there are significant gaps in where CS is taught in NM.
In any given year, less than 1% of students in NM are taking a CS course in high school
The number of high schools that offer CS has remained relatively steady showing that there is not enough growth of the teachers that are willing to teach CS and schools that are willing to schedule CS classes.
There are likely only teachers in NM that are teaching CS in any given year, showing that there is an issue with capacity building in our schools.
