EXPLORING YOUR COMMUNITY'S SENIOR CLASS

Gen Z students have handed out “less than stellar” grades for their schools’ performance on skills-based learning and career-focused curriculum as young people become more focused on their education leading to a job.

The annual “end of year report card” from Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation surveyed more than 2,000 students in grades 5 through 12, who gave their schools an overall grade of “B-” — the same score for the second year in a row.
