According to the evaluation results, 97.5 percent of the 275 educators evaluated received a proficient rating, 1.1 percent of educators received an exemplary rating, and 0.7 percent of educators were designated as needing improvement. No teachers were designated as unsatisfactory.

An exemplary teacher's performance consistently and significantly exceeds the standard requirements, according to the evaluation methodology. Proficient teachers fully and consistently meet standards, and teachers needing improvement fall below standard requirements.
