Here’s the latest installment about Michelle Rhee shaking up the school system in Washington DC. It examines if education better in DC today after 2 years with Michelle Rhee as school chancellor. The test scores show almost 50% of elementary students are now on grade level, according to the city’s year-end DC-CAS test. When Rhee took over, only 29% were on grade level in math.
Even though Michelle Rhee has never even been a school principal or a school superintendent, she’s accomplished a lot. She’s closed 23 schools, slashed her central office staff, pumped $200 million into school modernization, quadrupled spending on teacher training, and replaced about half of her school principals. Her changes have caused plenty of controversy, but the results speak for themselves.
Michelle Rhee still wants at least one more change. A contract that could tie teacher pay to how well students perform on tests. Will pay for performance work in the education system? We may find out soon.
Has Michelle Rhee improved the Washington DC school system?
