Of about 1,500 schools assigned grades on the annual report card, 493 saw a decrease in their overall letter grades. Only 234 schools saw an increase in performance, while a vast majority had no change.<\/p>

The state average grades went from straight C\u2019s a year ago to a smattering of C\u2019s and D\u2019s.The report cards measure and assign grades based on academic achievement and growth as well as English language proficiency progress and chronic absenteeism.<\/p>

State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister said the state department and schools will need to work together to raise school\u2019s grades moving forward, and simply knowing a school\u2019s performance gives an avenue for that improvement.<\/p>

\u201cThe focus of our accountability system is to ensure that all students are growing and we believe all schools can improve no matter where they are today,\u201d Hofmeister said.<\/p>

This is the second year Oklahoma Schools have been graded using these report cards, which replaced a previous letter grade system maligned for being too reliant on standardized test scores.<\/p>
