Abstract: This study takes 586 students and 72 teachers from primary, junior and senior high schools in Xingren City, Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province as research objects, using questionnaire, interview and data analysis to explore the collaboration and development path between K-12 students’ mental health and teaching quality. Results show a significant positive correlation (r=0.62, p<.01) with stage differences, and three major dilemmas: outdated concepts, disconnected mechanisms and insufficient resources. A four-in-one path of “concept reshaping – stage-specific measures – mechanism construction – resource guarantee” is proposed to support high-quality education development in ethnic minority areas.
