Pros

Great school if you're already a good teacher, mostly new facilities, well staffed and good benefits, huge charter network nationwide, opportunities to shift around the network.

Cons

KIPP Lynn high school is the prime example of what's wrong with charter schools. Suspension rates are high, 90% of kids are POC, teachers are predominantly white, administration must push all students to graduate and enter college regardless of their preferences, students "hate this school," mediocre starting pay of $45k for a 7-5pm job, no teacher unions as part of charter network, high teacher turnover rates of nearly 50% per year, administration doesn't understand how to manage teachers respectfully, frequent schedule changes and last minute responsibilities including during and after school duties for all teachers. "No excuses" is a KIPPism.
