The Yazzie/Martinez vs State of New Mexico (2018) lawsuit showed that the New Mexico education system did not fully support its students' success. Due to the decision, the government placed an emphasis on using community resources to supplement learning. Our project was to find what personal character traits led to a student’s success and what community resources help instill these values. After finding both, we made a website so that community members could learn about these resources, including a budget calculator and several sorting orders for accessibility. We found that three key aspects of a resource lead to students’ success: cost accessibility, long term support, and personal engagement. As a result, we recommend that community resources focus on these aspects.
