Almost Every Teacher and Administrator at Poor Performing Districts Rated 'Effective' [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Flint Schools gives 94 percent of teachers and 99 percent of administrators good marks
In recent staff performance evaluations by the Flint Community School district, 94 percent of its teachers and 99 percent of administrators were rated as “effective” – the second highest rating a school employee can receive.
However, those ratings do not correlate with the academic progress of students in Flint schools, whose average performance during the same two year period reflect the district’s troubled history of poor outcomes.
During the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years, 62 percent of Flint schools placed in the lowest 10 percent on the state’s “Top-to-Bottom” academic rankings.
Even when student progress is adjusted for socioeconomic status, the district’s performance is little better.
According to ratings which do adjust for student backgrounds compiled by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, seven Flint schools earned "F" grades, 12 got "C" grades and only one merited an "A" based on data from 2009 to 2012."
