Michigan’s Broken System For Rating Teacher’s Classroom Effectiveness

Michigan’s Broken System For Rating Teacher’s Classroom Effectiveness
  • Southwestern Classical Academy, a high school in Flint Community Schools, has among the lowest student test scores in the state of Michigan.
  • The average (mean) SAT score of students attending this high school in the Flint district was 764.5 in 2018-19, the last year for which test results have been released. By comparison, the average SAT score for students in the Detroit Public Schools Community School District came in at 847.6. The statewide average was 985.1.
  • A report card compiled by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, which adjusts raw test scores to reflect students’ socioeconomic backgrounds, gave the school building an F.
There were 33 teachers at Southwestern Classical Academy in the 2020-21 year. In annual assessments that schools must perform under state law, 17 were rated “highly effective” and 15 were rated “effective.” 
One teacher was rated “minimally effective.” No teacher was considered “ineffective.”... link
