Primary and secondary school principals management system in China applies administrative organ management system for a long time. It strengthens the awareness of the "official position" of the principals, dilutes the principals’ specialization and professionalism, lacks the mechanism of encouraging the principals to run a school independently, and it is difficult to produce excellent and expert principals. The development is imbalance between the primary and secondary schools. It is easy to distinguish quality schools and weak schools. The gap between school level leads to quality school principals do not want to office in weak school, because working in weak school will be thought to reduce headmasters’ administrative level. It is not conducive to the reform and development of weak schools. Therefore, the requirement of developing the principals’ specialization and the trend of reforming principal management system need to practice the rank system of principal and establish evaluation system of rank for principals which also help to promote the balanced development of compulsory.The content of the rank system is to remove the principal’s administrative level, form the hierarchical sequence of the principal duties, establish the principal rank wage system which matches with the hierarchical sequence of the principal duties.
