Oklahoma Public Schools' Grades Are Slipping

KFOR.com

The Oklahoma State Board of Education has released its 2016 Report Cards for all public schools in Oklahoma. As KFOR reports, things appear to be sliding downhill.

This year, more schools in Oklahoma received a grade of F than were given an A grade. All told, 213 schools were given an F. That’s 17 more schools than were given an A. Compare that with last year, when more schools received As than Fs.

The highest number of schools received a grade of C, and that was true last year as well. Almost 600 schools total fell under the C column this year.

The number of schools receiving an A grade has fallen precipitously in the past two years. In 2013, 354 schools in Oklahoma received an A. This year, that number has fallen by 142 schools, down to 212.
