A new WSJ/NBC News poll shows Americans give the nation’s public schools a GPA of 1.8 – not failing, but clearly in need of remediation.
Asked to grade the nation’s public schools using the common scale for students – A, B, C, D and F – only 2% of those surveyed gave them an A; 17% a B; almost half, 45%, said C; 25% a D, and 7% said F. Asked about the schools in their own communities, respondents handed out better grades: an overall GPA of 2.3, with 13% giving an A; 32% a B; 27% a C; 15% a D, and 9% an F.
