Pros

Scripted lesson plans for new teachers, lots of support from coaches and grade team leads, amazing students and families

Cons

School favors “rigor” which sometimes just translates to more work for kids and teachers. Kids often feel stressed because of the long days and difficult coursework. Frequent and difficult testing for the kids that is significantly more challenging than 5th grade mastery as it is presented on state tests.

Pros

* Teachers are provided with classroom materials and resources. * Teachers are not required to pay for or print materials on their own. * Operations team supports printing and material preparation.

Cons

* Printing machines frequently break down, causing delays and disruptions. * Teachers do not have direct access to printing and must rely on Operations. * Teacher supply requests are often limited or denied despite classroom needs. * Staff morale and student joy feel very low or nonexistent. * School leadership creates a culture of fear when data is not where it is expected to be. * There is little accountability placed on parents regarding attendance and scholar responsibilities. * Attendance policies are extremely strict for staff and students. * Spirit days lack excitement because students are often still restricted by uniform expectations. * Overall school culture can feel overly rigid and stressful rather than supportive and uplifting.
