On Thursday, NY1 published the most negative results of a survey that asked teachers to rate their school principals. Now, the station takes a look at the schools with the best leaders as rated by faculty. NY1's Education reporter Lindsey Christ filed the following report.

Teachers at Brooklyn's Eagle Academy II really love their principal.

"If a kid needs something, if he doesn't have a tie, Mr. Meade will take off his tie, or he has extra ties in his office,” says Kyron Jones, a teacher at the academy. “He'll literally give a kid the shirt off his back. That kind of respect you have for a person, when you see your principal doing that, it makes you want to do that.”

In the Department of Education's annual survey, all of the teachers at the school said they both trust Principal Rashad Meade and think he's a good manager.

He’s in surprisingly good company. When NY1 analyzed the data for all 1,700 schools, it found that there are many more good principals than bad, at least according to the teachers.

In sum, 91 principals got perfect scores on whether they are trustworthy and good managers. Teachers at Eagle Academy say that respect makes the whole school work.

“If you trust your boss, you'll buy into anything that he says,” says Jones. “And we'll run through a brick wall for this man because we believe in his model that he's come up with."

Meade founded Eagle Academy II three years ago to serve middle and high school boys. Like Meade, NY1 found many of the top rated are founding principals at new schools, which means they hired the staff that respects them so much.

“We were fortunate enough to be able to build our culture from the ground up,” says Meade. “To revamp a culture is a challenge for any principal.”

Principal Meade's popularity is not because he lets his teachers off easy. In fact, they work much longer days, six days a week and an extra month in the summer. They say they want to do it and that the example comes from the top.

“When he gives you shared leadership, when he gives you time to be creative in your classroom, how can you not want to work hard?” says Kemar Hamilton, another teacher.

"You need to see a cohesive, unified staff that is committed to being a family," says Meade.

In the coming weeks, NY1 will look at several more schools where teachers say the principal is someone remarkable.
