Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNN
US students give their schools an overall B- grade on average, according to a new report by Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation. The report is based on 2,062 responses from fifth through twelfth graders at public, charter, and private schools in the US. Schools received the worst grades on metrics about student engagement and preparedness, while they received the best grades for safety and respect. The responses for safety and respect varied based on race, with Black students giving lower grades than White and Hispanic students. Students’ ratings of their schools closely align with their academic performance.
