Pros

- Great/healthy/positive culture at my school site - Wonderful mission and vision at KIPP LA - Super pay - much better that LAUSD - Amazing benefits - 100% Employer covered

Cons

- They overwork you. I consistently worked 70 hours a week - Each school behavior management is different. All KIPP LA schools are serving high need students, and most of them have students with many behavioral needs. We just didn't have enough staff/resources to help the students that needed it. So there were many behavioral issues in each classroom, disrupting learning - High turnover, because of the unreasonable workload

Pros

KIPPLA pays its teachers really well compared to LAUSD. Also, KIPP Scholar Academy is able to attract a great, diverse faculty.

Cons

KIPP Scholar Academy has the absolute worst administrative team I have ever encountered. They have no true behavioral management systems in place and attempt to manage their students' behavior by yelling and physically intimidating them. The school's chaotic culture breeds disrespect towards teachers and prevents rigorous learning. If you walk through the school hallways, all you hear are overwhelmed teachers yelling at students and trying to maintain order in their classrooms. Academics are not a priority at this school and they have extremely low academic expectations. In the 2014-15 school year: 3 of their teachers resigned midyear. 50+ students withdrew from the school midyear About 25% of their staff are not coming back next school year.
