From personal experience, I found that the reference letters coming from practical experiences in the classroom were the more important portion in terms of getting hired or not.
It speaks volumes if you can't provide a decent letter from at least three different reliable sources when leaving any program... especially teaching as it seems everyone knows everyone. Imagine if you had no references going into your interview, doesn't matter what school you went to. And if your references are glowing, it still won't matter what school you went to.
Maybe the school counts for something, but probably not as much as what acreddited teachers or administration think of your ability in the classroom.
