City teachers with poor job ratings are more likely to work at low-performing schools, according to a pro-charter group’s analysis of state Education Department data.
The study by Families for Excellent Schools shows public school teachers who received poor job ratings for the 2013-14 school year tended to work at schools where fewer kids passed state math and reading tests.
The group’s CEO, Jeremiah Kittredge, said those schools tended to enroll more black and Hispanic kids from poor families.
“The inequality in access to quality teachers is startling,” said Kittredge. “The more black and Hispanic a school is, the worse the teachers are.”
De Blasio administration spokesman Wiley Norvell said the city has expanded teacher training and invested hundreds of millions in low-performing schools to improve the system.
