Pros

There are some really INCREDIBLE teachers at this school. Also, one of the AP's is simply wonderful, and there is one other who is pretty good.

Cons

I left pretty quickly. It was to much for me, and I was in my 11th year of teaching- first year at Kealing Middle. The upper level administration is constantly changing which means the school is constantly in a state of flux. The head administrators are VERY inactive and under-involved. Many of the students are EXTREMELY violent. I have personally heard students swear at teachers (big swears- the adult kind), I have seen teachers punched in the face and pushed down onto a stair case. I have seen a student drag another student down stairs by her hair, personally had a student physically attack another student with special needs in a headlock, lifting him off the ground and swearing in his face during a lesson.

Decent pay and good PTO.

Demanding schedules. Administration doesn't communicate well, and budget cuts make the job harder.
