Linkages Between Grade Point Average and Student Ratings

In order to better understand the potential influence of high school students’ grades on how they rate their teachers and schools, we explored relationship between student grade point average ratings teacher effectiveness in 370 classes taught by 230 instructors with over 6,000 students 9–12 an Intermountain West district. Teachers were evaluated 18-item survey. Students also rated schools six additional items. The performance measure was (GPA) for quarter which schools. ANOVAs showed that both year GPA positively linked experiences. Seniors more disposed toward experiences than at lower levels. Most specific items school-experience scales significantly, though not strongly, correlated GPAs. We discuss implications suggestions future research.
