[quote=Anonymous]One way you can sort of get a sense for this is look at the above VDOE website for "inexperienced teachers." Oakridge, a low-poverty school, has 8 teachers who are inexperienced. That's 15% and the state average for low-poverty schools is 4%. Jamestown, another low-poverty school, has 4 (8%) inexperienced teachers. There are a lot of reasons for teachers leaving, obviously, but I think it's reasonable to assume that if 15% of the teachers at the school are inexperienced, there is higher teacher turnover than at a similarly situated school with half that number. (And yes Oakridge sucks, parents have been screaming about it for a long time, and the crappy principal is still there. I can't even blame her at this point; it's all APS's fault because they have known for decades that she's horrible and they do nothing. It's part of a broader culture of zero accountability on the part of the school board and APS.)[/quote]
