Pros

Partnership with Relay Graduate School allows you to earn Master’s degree almost free. The children are there to learn. Staff development is phenomenal. There are Professional Development days, summer trainings, and extensive weekly coaching. A majority of teachers/staff were truly there for the kids.

Cons

Friendships can sometimes interfere with leadership decisions. Curriculum feels outdated at times. Though they were changing that when I left. Classroom management expectations were unrealistic for our kids and some staff members abused the behavior system we had in place. Lack of support/services provided for SPED students which was disappointing as a teacher who taught students with learning disabilities.
