Schools on poor areas in general go bad on tests not just because the teachers are bad, there are other socioeconomic variables that influence much more on student grades, like poverty, nutrition, violence, and so on.
Even if you do believe evaluation works the way it is I still think its execution doesn't make any sense. You're taking schools that have bad grades and granting them less money on the next term, what positive effect is this supposed to have?

True, but if you see scores consistently jump in one subject year-over-year, that's probably because of a good teacher. For evaluating teachers, relative test scores are more interesting. As for schools, yeah, it's heard when you're bumping into a lot of external limitations. You almost need to model expected performance and benchmark against that because it's incredibly hard to get mediocre performance out of bad circumstances.
