Was below 70 being a failing grade not the standard across the U.S. before Covid?

I grew up in VA and 69 and below was always the standard failing grade until COVID, when it was then lowered by ten points.

I was doing some research recently to hear some other opinions about this change and most of what I could find online seems to point that in most areas the standard was always 59 and below being a failing grade. I’m curious to hear if this is true or not
