The entire evaluation process would give room for adequate measure of the level of educational effectiveness. In other words, school effectiveness refers commonly to the performance of the organizational unit called ‘school’. The performance of the school can be expressed as the output of the school, which in turn is measured in terms of the average achievement of the pupils at the end of a period of formal schooling. Teacher effectiveness could be said to be demonstrated when student learning improves. This position is canvassed by both educators and policy makers. The study applied the descriptive research design. It analyzed data collected from fifty (50) teachers from five (5) randomly selected secondary schools in Education District 11, Lagos State. Teacher Evaluation and Effectiveness Scale (TEES) was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using correlation. In addition, the mean, median, mode and standard deviation of the different items on the questionnaire were calculated. The calculated mean for each item on the questionnaire was determined by the decision rule. Any item with a mean of 2.5 and above was accepted, while below 2.5 was rejected. All the items had a mean of above 2.5, therefore they were accepted. There was statistical relationship between teacher evaluation and teacher effectiveness. The correlation is significant at 0.05 level (2-tailed) and 0.01 level (2-tailed). Based on the findings, some recommendations were made.
