Evaluative criteria

The major concern of the National Study of Secondary School Evaluation is to determine the traits of good secondary schools and to develop improved methods of evaluation of schools. This handbook describes the background, the purposes of evaluation, and the procedures to be followed in an evaluation. The school determines its basic philosophy, and translates it into specific objectives. It is according to both this philosophy and stated objectives that the evaluation proceeds, covering nineteen subject areas, seven administrative areas, service, and non-academic elements.
