THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Ridgewood education leaders this week expressed disappointment with the recently released AchieveNJ Teacher Evaluation chart, saying the scoring system doesn’t tell the entire story.
Village teachers scored collectively low in the evaluation, a tool used by the state to gauge which educators and schools are the most effective. Specifically, the chart showed which teachers fall into the “effective” and “highly effective” categories, and gave a percentage of the total number of teachers in the school who were highly effective.
The highest-ranking Ridgewood school was Benjamin Franklin Middle School, with a 46.15 percent highly-effective rating (24 highly effective teachers out of 52). George Washington Middle School scored 25 percent highly-effective, or 14 highly-effective teachers out of 56.

$100mn a year… for this?
Right. Got it….
Scoring System BAD.
Teachers GOOD.
Help me out here… is the “Tradition” part or the “Excellence” part???
Realtors take note! Everyone thinks that their schools are best. Now we can put numbers to it. Things are not the way some thought. BF quietly rules!
Ask the Assistant Superintendent why more teachers didn’t get highly effective ratings. She is the one who is responsible.
And the myth of Ridgewood schools if finally exposed…SUCKERS
