Missouri Delays A-F Letter Grades for Public Schools Amid Superintendent Concerns

Missouri's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has postponed the release of A-F letter grades for public schools until at least mid-November, following pushback from school administrators regarding the metrics and methodology used in the rating system. Superintendents raised concerns about the integrity of an untested model potentially leading to mathematically flawed grades and asked for more time to review scores and appeal data.
