Sunday will mark five years on the job for the city’s schools chancellor, Joel Klein, which might not seem long in the private sector but in the turbulent political seas of New York City school administration is some kind of record. The results are starting to show. The city’s high school graduation rate is up to the highest levels in decades, and pass rates on standardized reading and math tests are up. Forty-five new charter schools have been opened in the past five years, and 286 new schools in all. Mr. Klein says he has diverted $350 million a year “from the bureaucracy to the schools,” and stepped up “pay for performance,” especially for principals.
