This article reports the findings of a snapshot study of the superintendency conducted by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA). The findings revealed that superintendents were evaluated highly by their boards, but the number of leaders who received the highest ratings have declined during the past six years. The report, which was based on a random survey of 1,338 superintendents nationwide, was a continuation of AASA's national studies on the state of the superintendency begun in 1923 that launched a series of 10-year reports through much of the past century. The findings seemed to run counter to stories in the media portraying boards of education and superintendents in perpetual conflict. The ratings strongly suggested that school boards feel superintendents in general are doing a good job.
