Of the 22 Grade 8 standards, 19 have a direct CSTA 6-8 match, 2 are loose matches, and just 1 has no CSTA equivalent at all \u2014 the tightest alignment to the national framework of any middle-school grade we&#8217;ve compared.

In a few cases the exact same placeholder text had been copied across multiple different CSTA codes; some entries were even explicitly flagged as unverified by an earlier build pass. Rather than trust those fields, every CSTA code and text below was re-sourced independently against the official CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (6-8 band).

This isn&#8217;t a one-off gap; it&#8217;s a consistent design choice. Oklahoma treats online-conduct instruction as a standalone standard at every middle-school grade level, where CSTA folds related ideas (bias, accessibility, public\/private information) into its Impacts of Computing band without a dedicated netiquette standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Grade 8 Tightens the Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8.AP.PD.03<\/strong> and CSTA&#8217;s <strong>2-AP-17<\/strong> are nearly identical: &#8220;Systematically test and refine programs using a range of student created inputs&#8221; vs. &#8220;Systematically test and refine programs using a range of test cases.&#8221; <strong>8.CS.HS.01<\/strong> and <strong>2-CS-02<\/strong> line up almost exactly too. By Grade 8, Oklahoma&#8217;s programming and hardware standards read like light edits of the CSTA source rather than independent rewrites \u2014 a contrast to the social\/ethical strand, where Oklahoma keeps building its own material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full Standard-by-Standard Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table
