The State Board of Education has  approved the release of 2016 A-F Report Cards for all public schools in Oklahoma.
This year’s tally included 196 A’s, 455 B’s, 582 C’s, 319 D’s and 213 F’s. By contrast, in 2015, schools earned 212 A’s, 497 B’s, 536 C’s, 333 D’s and 183 F’s.
The report cards released today are likely to be the last using the A-F calculations that have been in effect since the 2012-2013 school year. Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act  and a new state law, House Bill 3218, the Oklahoma State Department of Education  is developing a new school accountability calculation to take effect in the 2017-2018 school year.
