These graphs show a teacher's "value-added" rating based on his or her students' progress on the California Standards Tests in math and English. The Times’ analysis used all valid student scores available for this teacher from the 2003-04 through 2009-10 academic years. The value-added scores reflect a teacher's effectiveness at raising standardized test scores and, as such, capture only one aspect of a teacher's work.

About this rating
The red lines show The Times’ value-added estimates for this teacher. Franco falls within the “least effective” category of district teachers in math and within the “least effective” category in English. These ratings were calculated based on test scores from 112 students.
Because this is a statistical measure, each score has a degree of uncertainty. The shading represents the range of values within which Franco’s actual effectiveness score is most likely to fall. The score is most likely to be in the center of the shaded area, near the red line, and less likely in the lightly shaded area. Teachers with ratings based on a small number of student test scores will a have wider shaded range.
The beige area shows how the district's 11,500 elementary school teachers are distributed across the categories.

Eleazer Franco's Response:
For the past 6 years I have worked at 107th Street Elementary School, a multi-track elementary school. I have taught on track B for all 6 years. This particular track gives my students 6 weeks off right before the CST. So every year after our 6 week break I have exactly one week to review ALL material that I have covered the entire year. I ask the LA Times to research their teacher evaluations. Find out how many teachers on this list are on the same track and how it affects their scores. Find out how many of their students who are new comers to this country are taking this test. Find out how many students on their roster have IEPs who did not qualify to take the CMA instead of the CST. There is more to evaluating a teacher's performance than just a test score.
The Times gave LAUSD elementary school teachers rated in this database the opportunity to preview their value-added evaluations and publicly respond. Some issues raised by teachers may be addressed in the FAQ. Teachers who have not commented may do so by contacting The Times.
