Pros

The salary was decent and there are some really great students and teachers struggling in HISD.

Cons

Prepare to work 60-80 hour weeks with little gratitude. Violence is swept under the rug. Administration was like a revolving door, as was most of the staff. Not only was my campus incredibly violent, but punishment for said violence was light as administration was under pressure to lower the number of suspensions. Pressure was constantly on the teachers to perform and pass students, even if they didn't deserve it. Morale was low among both students and staff.

Pros

Salary is good but is it worth your mental health.

Cons

Your principal will throw you under the bus and won't back you. They will tell you what you wanna hear. So Beware! Students can kick you and spit on you without any consequences. This is Kindergarten. North Forest ISD should have never been taken over by HISD. Students run the school.
