Pros
** Best staff support and training I have experienced. ** I love the community model, and the flexible seating for the students. ** The technology access for teachers, staff, and students are amazing. IPads for each student, and Apple computers for the staff is such a perk. ** I love that I am eligible for performance bonuses every year! This year I received a retention bonus, and a bonus when our students achieved their growth goals for the first semester. ** Ms. Sherry Hage is a wonderful CEO who cares deeply for each of her students, her teachers, staff, and the parents. You can hear it in her voice when she speaks the passion she has for all to succeed. ** My principal, Ms.Teresa Brown is the greatest principal I've ever worked for. She is one who is always welcoming, inviting, and professional. She continues to provide the school with a positive energy, pouring into every student. She takes the time to greet all her students with love and praise, yet holding them accountable for academics and behaviors as well. She continues to pour positivity into the staff daily, and making sure all know that its a "team effort" daily. ** The entire NEI staff team of Tamara Abbott, Dr. Eve Carney, Jenelle Robinson, Eric Lewis, Teresa Ellison, Mohammed Hossain, Janika Blair, Corbet Wilson, and Jake Lewis are nothing short of an all star cast assembled together to make sure each employee of NEI has the tools needed to be successful. Each member knows you by name, checks on you regularly which truly makes me feel valued as an employee.
Cons
I am pleased overall with NEI.
