State of the Superintendency
Performance Evaluation
School Administrator, February 2020


Nine of 10 superintendents responding to an AASA national survey reported they are evaluated annually under the terms of their employment contracts.

According to the survey of nearly 1,200 superintendents in 2018, slightly fewer than half reported their contract specifies the process, measures and indicators to be used in their formal performance review.
