Pros

-the scholars and families -the pay is good but unfortunately is what keeps unhappy people working here for longer than they want.

Cons

-leadership is not diverse -punitive (racist) behavior system -children are NOT put first -no healthy work life balance because the top two people are married and expect the job to be your life too. -transparently insincere attempts to gather and implement staff feedback -families are treated as if they don’t know what’s best for their children -staff are treated as if they are disposable so candid conversations are rare and people just end up leaving.

Pros

Students get high scores on state tests. Students are pushed to achieve. School is safe and consistent. There is constant professional development. With the Classicorps fellowship they pay for grad school as well. They want you to remain in the network so will find ways for you to advance.

Cons

Intense teaching environment for teachers and students. Very strict on students and teachers. Work expectations extend well beyond the classroom. Expect to be up late working most nights your first year. Negative work environment because of constant stress. Stress on students is unreasonable. There is no recess. Children can't ask questions or move in their seat during lessons.
