| Del. Education Secretary Lillian Lowery | Are Delaware's public schools getting worse instead of better?
Delaware Education officials say that, as federal standards rise, the state's school
ratings have dropped.
Delaware has 20% fewer schools rated "superior" in the ratings that were released
Friday. There are also only half as many "commendable" schools as last year.
Meantime, the number of schools under "academic review" was up.
State Education Secretary Lillian Lowery says Delaware has to take big, giant steps
toward radically improving the education system.
