The State of State Science Standards
The Fordham Institute released grades on how states’ science education standards stack up. We know that students need to do better when it comes to STEM education. But when states are undermining science education, how can we even begin to improve?
What grade did your state get?

TENNESSEE IS WORSE THAN TEXAS AND MISSISSIPPI! D:
But oh hey! LOL Oregon, Wyoming, Alaska, and Oklahoma!The third graders at my new school get 40 minutes of science per week. That’s it. But don’t worry! They have daily spelling lessons! Who cares if they’re grossly behind in their science education if they have nice spelling and handwriting?!
Ugh it’s appalling. And Ohio is one of the better states, which makes it even worse.
How is this possible?
I think this must be graded on a curve. I bet if you included Europe California wouldn’t have an A. I’m even in the Bay Area and I feel like we’re not doing enough. I guess that then pushes those F’s down to F-’s. This is appalling. I really expected better out of Oregon. C’mon!!!
