A Non-Convex Data Envelopment Analysis Model (FDH) for Rostam High School Performance Evaluation

Today, despite the technology of the schools and growth and advancement of technology, the role of management, efficiency and performance evaluation as a vital and strategic factor in the survival of the organization is evident. Schools performance Evaluation and, consequently, schools management is one of the complex issues in education, which has been underestimated. In the past studies in this area, less can be achieved through an objective study, which results in the evaluation and ranking of schools efficiency and presentation of the school performance score. Hence, the researchers use non-convex data envelopment analysis model to evaluate the efficiency of schools. This model is able to present a score of school performance and rank them and due to the use of mathematical modeling, it is valid. Therefore, in this paper, the researcher presents a mathematical model for high school performance efficiency in Rostam city. In this descriptive study, 15 Rostam High Schools were evaluated. Then, by using the views of Education specialists, the schools input and output indicators are extracted and the data envelopment analysis model (FDH) is designed. The model is solved with the GAMS software and the results are presented. The results show, 10 high schools were efficient and 5 are inefficient. Finally, we also analyze the results and rank the effective units.
