"Falling" means that something goes towards the earth. "Soaring" means the opposite. "Grades soar" means that grades went up "Falling grades means that grades are going down". "Falling grades soar" is just meaningless writing.

The title is "failing grades soar" (one 'l', not two), not "falling grades soar."
