Oklahoma does not currently have specific requirements for classifying high school students’ grade level. This study will review existing practices in districts across the state and attempt to determine if the lack of standard grade level classification has any impact on education outcomes, parent engagement, or transfers between districts. Should standardization be recommended, the study will seek to understand how standardization should be implemented.
