New New Jersey teacher evaluation data was released this past week, and you may be surprised - and you may not even like - how your school district was ranked (see list below).

Judging by the reaction of the state's largest teachers' union, educators probably won't like it either.

The state Department of Education released its second annual teacher evaluation report, finding that 1.6 percent of New Jersey's public school teachers were rated "ineffective" or "partially effective" in 2014-15. But the number of school districts that reported these numbers was small (see list at the bottom of this story).

We took the districts that had the highest combined number of effective and highly effective teachers, based on student enrollment. So if you're a large school, you're likely to have more effective and highly effective teachers than others; we took the size of the school into account.

It should be noted that a number of school districts didn't report any numbers - and some may have even over-reported compared to other districts.

Wendell Steinhauer, president of the New Jersey Education Association, said the teacher evaluation is unnecessary, particularly because of the way it's comprised. He told nj.com that the Department of Education "has created a climate of pressure and fear around testing that hurts everyone in our schools."

The NJEA is pushing for a bill, which passed the Assembly recently, that would remove student tests from the evaluations. NJEA Vice President Marie Blistan said the use of standardized test scores for teacher evaluation "damages schools."

“It’s that simple. Standardized tests are a more accurate indication of life circumstances than the impact of single teacher on a student in a given year," she said in a statement. "Inappropriate use of this flawed measurement narrows the curriculum and forces educators to focus valuable class time on test preparation."

Here is the list of schools with the highest-to-lowest percentages of effective and highly effective teachers - based on enrollment:
