APPR is the term used to describe NY State's teacher and principal evaluation system. Below are 2012-13 Education Law §3012-c APPR data for teachers and principals. Data has only been included for those districts, BOCES, and charter schools with an approved APPR plan for the 2012-13 school year. Each classroom teacher and building principal must receive an overall rating of Highly Effective, Effective, Developing, or Ineffective (HEDI). This rating is based on a single composite effectiveness score (ranging from 0-100 points) that is calculated based on the scores received by the teacher or principal in each of the three subcomponents (State Growth or Other Comparable Measures, Locally-Selected Measures, and Other Measures of Educator Effectiveness).

The figure below shows the percentage of educators in each rating category for the three subcomponents and the Overall Composite score, as well as the percentage of educators in each transition rating category for the Transition Overall Composite Score¹²: Overall Composite Rating (first row), State Growth or Other Comparable Measures (second row), Locally-Selected Measures (third row), Other Measures of Educator Effectiveness (fourth row), and Transition Overall Composite Score (last row).
