A new survey released Apr. 25 by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California finds that 52% of voters would give their local schools and “A” or “B” grade.

Parents of public school students are even more positive in their rating of their schools, with 60% putting their local schools at the “A” or “B” grade level.

According to the PPIC, the results of that question are similar to the results of a nationwide Phi Delta Kapp/Gallup Poll conducted in 2011.
