Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard recognized the success of the Inquiry Science program and ISEC team on the House floor. After four years of implementation, an independent evaluation shows that students in the program have made ‘statistically significant’ improvements in grades 4, 5 and 6 in every subject included in the New Mexico Standards-Based Assessment. When compared to students of similar demographics not participating in the program, ISEC students scored an average of 4 to 7 points higher not only in science but also in reading, writing and math.
