Health Secretary Wes Streeting is introducing a new grading system he says will help end the "postcode lottery" of care for patients.
Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust also ranked poorly.
Those against the plans warn hospital performance is "not as simple as good or bad".
'We are disappointed'
Professor Andy Hardy, Chief Executive Officer at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust, said: “We are disappointed by our position in the national oversight table and we are looking at all the metrics to see where we can use our improvement methodology (UHCWi) to make positive changes for our patients.
“Through the efforts of our staff, we have already seen improvements in some key areas.
“We continue to strive to provide high levels of service for our patients as evidenced by our recent CQC inspection which rated both our hospitals – University Hospital Coventry and the Hospital of St Cross, Rugby – as ‘Good’ for patient care and safety.”
