I thought some of you might be interested in what an 8th grade education meant in earlier times: Jan Patton 8th grade education Remember when our grandparents or great-grandparents stated that they only had an 8th grade education? More than likely we, in our ignorance, denigrated this "low" level of academic achievement from the "dark ages". Could any of us have successfully passed the 1895 8th grade final exam? What follows is the actual 1895 eighth grade final exam from Salina, Kansas. It was taken from the original document on file at the Smokey Valley Genealogical Society and Library in Salina, Kansas and reprinted by the Salina Journal. 8th Grade Five Hour Final Exam: Salina, KS - 1895 Grammar (Time - one hour) 1.
