Resume Roast for School Principals

Principal resumes get read like a school report card: enrollment, staff size, and what moved under your leadership. Test scores, attendance, teacher retention, suspensions. Visionary instructional leader is what the district writes in the posting; they are hiring the person whose numbers went the right direction. A school of 600 where math proficiency rose 12 points and teacher turnover fell by half needs no adjectives.

What Gabe checks first on a School Principal resume

Size the school: enrollment, staff count, budget, demographics. Led a school means nothing until the reader knows which kind and how big.
Claim two or three moved metrics, like proficiency up 10 points, chronic absenteeism down 6, teacher retention up to 91 percent.
Include one hard leadership decision and its result, like restructured the master schedule to add intervention blocks, and eighth-grade reading recovered.

Worth knowing

Referred candidates are roughly 40 times more likely to reach an interview than cold applicants. (referral-to-interview research)
