Pros

Academy of Math & Science- Glendale is a great place to work! Everyone is so positive, always looking for ways to get better, and administration is extremely supportive of faculty. Our students are eager to learn and parents are very supportive and involved in their children's education. AMS provides incredible professional development opportunities and gives you the opportunity to grow and better your craft as an educator. Everything is a team effort where ALL opinions and ideas are valued. It is a positive, enriching work environment. I HIGHLY recommend working here.

Cons

I do not have a "con."

Pros

The teaching staff is wonderful. Experienced, hard working, dedicated.

Cons

The school and network are so unorganized, no consistency, poor communication from network down. The campus is not secure. Teachers are responsible for purchasing their own supplies, but $300 doesn't go far when there are 35 children in each class. The students have major behavior/trauma issues, and there is no social/emotional support professionals on campus available. Turn over is high! From the start of the school year in July, over 20 employees (paras, teachers, and admin) are gone. When someone leaves, it is so hush hush. No one tells you, you just notice one day that they are gone and they are never spoken about again. So much potential in the school staff but it is wasted! It is clear that the admin are being worked to the bone, and I worry that they will all leave.
