  1. Education in Oklahoma Presented to the Interim Study Committee September 26, 2013 Prepared by the Community Service Council of Greater Tulsa, with support from the Metropolitan Human Services Commission

  2. Reported Graduation Rates: Oklahoma Graduation rate is calculated by comparing the current number of graduates to the 9th grade student enrollment four years earlier. Beginning 2005 a Senior graduation rate was used, which divides current year graduates by graduates plus dropouts (under age 19) for the 12th grade that same year. SYE 2008 Average freshman graduation rate was added for state and county district totals, calculated as current graduates divided by the cohort of the average number of students in 8th, 9th, and 10th grades.

  5. Achieving Classroom Excellence Law • The Achieving Classroom Excellence (ACE) law states that: Beginning with students entering the ninth grade in the 2008-2009 school year, every student shall demonstrate mastery of the state academic content standards in the following subject areas in order to graduate from a public high school with a standard diploma:  • (a) Algebra I;(b) English II; and(c) Two of the following five: (1) Algebra II, (2) Biology I, (3) English III, (4) Geometry, and (5) United States History. (70 O.S. § 1210.523)

  6. Unintentional Effect of Achieving Classroom Excellence Law • “Students who do not meet EOI requirements and thus do not graduate will be reported by a school district as a “dropout.” Students can enroll as a 5th year senior in 2012-13 to take ACE remediation classes and retake the EOI tests in order to earn a diploma. Without a high school diploma a student can attend a two-year community college such as Tulsa Community College or a technical school. But, without a high school diploma a student cannot attend a four - year college or university, receive a college scholarship or serve in the military.” Source: Tulsa Kids, April 2012, “Oklahoma End of Instruction Tests.”

  7. Oklahoma Seniors Negatively Impacted by Achieving Classroom Excellence Law • The Oklahoma State Department of Education estimates that 97% of Oklahoma high school seniors will meet ACE standards, leaving 3% who will not, and therefore will not receive high school diploma and will be classified as dropouts. • This 3% represents about 1,200 seniors each year.

  8. GED Facts • In 2011, 8884 Oklahoma adults without a high school credential completed the GED test • Of these, 6669 passed the test for a rate of 75.1%; national average is 72.2% • In Oklahoma, test offered in English and Spanish • Over a third of Oklahoma GED test candidates are age 19-24 • 54% are male • 59% white, 16% American Indian/Alaska Native, 14% African American, 9% Hispanic • 55% report taking GED test for educational reason, 54% for personal reason, 51% for employment reason (multiple reasons could be chosen) • Upon passing the GED Tests in Oklahoma, examinees will receive an Oklahoma State High School Diploma.
