Pros

They have a partnership with a Master's program so you can work as you get your master's degree. Kids are amazing. Competitive pay.

Cons

Most employees seem to be very burnt out, which becomes contagious after a while. There is Professional development once a month and it consists of a bunch of sessions led by the instructional coaches. It is not a productive use of time, given the amount of work there is outside of PD. The PD sessions also become repetitive after awhile. It would be more productive to have work time, instead of PD. The hours are long: 7:30-4:45. Lots of testing. This is normal for a charter school, but after a few months, the kids and teachers are burnt out. During Specials (gym, music, dance, art), students who are academically struggling have "Intervention", SETTS, or At-Risk Literacy instruction so they can't go to Specials with their classmates. Kids get upset about this, understandably.

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.
