performance appraisal system operating in high schools in Western Wollega

random sampling techniques. The subjects of the investigation were 8
principals and 72 teachers drawn from the sample schools. The
information's were gathered through a survey questionnaire and analysed
using mean score and percentage. Thus the findings of the study proved that
formative purposes were the principal purposes the criteria were found to be
inadequate and inappropriate; incompetent appraisers were assigned to judge
teachers' performance; and inadequate information's were used. Moreover,
Teachers' performance appraisal system was not revised in the past five
years. In sum, the present teachers' performance appraisal system was
considered as ineffective to achieve its goal. Therefore, it is suggested that
