Understanding the Report Cards

According to the Oklahoma State Department of Education, the report cards are based on several indicators, such as academic achievement, growth, absenteeism, graduation rates, and postsecondary readiness. Each indicator is assigned a point value that contributes to a school's overall letter grade.

The state emphasizes that these grades are only part of the story. "No school report card tells the full story of a school," the Department’s website states, adding that education extends beyond a single grade or score. The goal is to provide families and communities with insights into areas of strength and improvement while recognizing that every school has unique successes and challenges.

Contextual information, including per-pupil expenditures, educator qualifications, and national data comparisons, further highlights each school’s performance. The report cards aim to support accountability while fostering a shared commitment to student and school growth.
