New statistics show more city school teachers are not performing well on their annual reviews.
The Department of Education released the results of teacher evaluations for the past school year on Tuesday.
According to the numbers, 2.7 percent of teachers rated "unsatisfactory," up from 2.3 percent the year before.
The DOE also found nearly a quarter of the teachers who rated unsatisfactory this year were rated unsatisfactory last year.
DOE officials are supposed to switch to a new evaluations system that would rank teachers in one of four categories: "ineffective," "developing," "effective" or "highly effective."
It is unclear when that new system will be put into place.
