The Florida Department of Education has released 2011-2012 administrator evaluation data.

Editor’s note: This is the corrected data from the Florida Department of Education, as of 12/7/2012.

The Florida Department of Education released some administrator evaluation data for the 2011-12 school year on Dec. 5. This is the first time the state has released data for the new administrator evaluations, which were required by a 2011 law.

For more details on what the evaluations require, check out the Florida Department of Education website.

The data has been broken down to district levels, but not to the individual administrator level.

The department says the released data is still subject to revision.

These are administrators who earn the highest scores according to the district’s chosen evaluation model. In 2011-2012, 22 percent of Florida administrators earned a “highly effective” rating.
• Effective: The next highest evaluation tier. About 71.8 percent of Florida administrators earned an “effective” rating in 2011-2012, the largest category.
• Needs Improvement: This tier is as it sounds — these are administrators who fail to meet some classroom standards. About 5.6 percent of Florida administrators fell into this category in 2011-2012.
• Developing: This rating is for administrators in their first three years in the profession who fail to meet standards and performance. Only .1 percent of Florida administrators were rated “developing.”
  
• Unsatisfactory: This is the lowest rating for administrators. Just 24 Florida administrators earned this rating — about five-tenths of one percent.
• Unrated: Some administrators were not rated for the 2011-2012 school year, including at charter schools which are not participating in the federal Race to the Top program. This group accounted for 39.6 percent of Florida administrators.
