School effectiveness refers to the extent to which an institution achieves its established goals while addressing challenges that may impede its operations. In China, the assessment of school effectiveness frequently relies on a singular statistical metric, such as students' scores on a certain examination, as a benchmark for assessing institutional performance. It is also less likely to consider the influence of students' familial background, school enrollment outcomes, and variables such as teacher quality, financial resources, and geographic location on school effectiveness. A scientific evaluation method is essential for assessing school effectiveness. This paper elucidated the concepts of school effectiveness, the contribution of social system theory to its enhancement, and models of school effectiveness. This study's conclusions will offer insights and recommendations for the education department, administrators, leaders, and instructors, thereby enhancing the realisation of school effectiveness. And this paper helps leaders to recognise teachers' knowledge and skills and set common goals.
