Associate Superintendent Carla Steinbach, Academic Performance of Conventional High Schools Supervised, Academic Years Ending in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018

The Associate Superintendents of the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) serve as mentors to site principals and along with those leaders at the school level have responsibility for academic results at the schools under their supervision.  Over the last half decade the number of associate superintendents has gone from eight, to six, to four, and now to three.  During the 2017-2018 academic year the associate superintendents included Laura Cavender, Lucilla Davila, Carla Steinbach, and Ron Wagner;  for the current academic year of 2018-2019, Cavender has been reassigned as principal of Bryn Mawr K-5 elementary school and Davis has been reassigned as principal of Folwell K-8 elementary school.   Steinbach and Wagner remain as associate superintendents, the former with responsibility for all middle schools and high schools, the latter with responsibility for approximately half of all MPS K-5 and K-8 elementary schools;  Brian Zambreno came to the district from Richfield and has responsibility for the remainder of the K-5 and K-8 schools.

 

The following tabular presentation gives multi-year academic results for the seven conventional high schools under the supervision of Carla Steinbach.   These high schools include Edison High School, Henry High School, North High School (still the name of popular reference for the site that includes North Arts and Communications Academy and North Senior Academy), Roosevelt High School, South High School, Southwest High School, and Washburn High School.  Steinbach was the building principal for Edison High School during the academic years ending in 2014 and 2015. She had all of the schools listed below under her supervision as associate superintendent during academic year 2017-2018;  thus she should be held fully responsible for the academic results, along with the building principals whom she mentors.
