SUMMARY: Oklahoma ranks near the bottom in the latest National Report Card, placing in the bottom 10 for both math and reading scores among 4th and 8th graders. There has been little improvement since two years ago. Efforts to enhance education include proposed legislation to ban cell phones in classrooms, believing it could improve scores. Additionally, Oklahoma received nearly $16 million in federal literacy grants aimed at boosting reading proficiency. Lawmakers aim to address chronic absenteeism and the teacher shortage as parts of a broader initiative to raise educational standards in the state, struggling to keep pace with national averages.
