Pros

They are so desperate to slow the revolving door of teachers leaving this school they sure will do a lot to keep you around if you don't ask questions, don't give feedback, and basically don't display any emotion or otherwise human characteristics. If you enjoy a few free pieces of swag and a couple Panera breakfasts and pizza parties, this is the place for you! But make sure you leave any innovative, creative, fun ways to teach and learn because if it isn't aligned to any one of their oh so important tests, its not going to happen.

Cons

A toxic work culture that fetishizes a white savior mentality and working ridiculous hours. Their leadership team likes to tout a culture of feedback, yet in reality that feedback is only one way (from leader to teacher) and they will deflect and dodge any feedback in their direction. Their attempts at being culturally responsive is woeful at best and sadly incompetent and a thinly veiled white supremacist environment at its worse. The CEO believes that this school is a business and that teachers and students are just replaceable cogs in the machine that is designed to pump out test scores and college acceptances but not create students who are inspired to learn and be prepared for entering the world around them. Their leadership team is more concerned about compliance and a "united front (I know, sounds kind of fascist-y to me too) than being responsive to the needs of their students and teachers. If you do want to advance in your career here, I hope you are comfortable compromising your morals and values and any passion for doing what is right for kids because that is what just about every leader in this organization has done.

Pros

its an ideal school to put your kids in if you want to see them become numb to the world

Cons

they give me very much brainwashing activities, they do not care about mental health and they treat the children like robot’s. it is a constant competition between each other and other schools.
