Pros

Rigorous academics and less behavior problems in comparison to the local public schools, the kids are wonderful, many of the teachers are compassionate and in the work for the right reasons, but the same cannot be said for...

Cons

The administrators. Shady dealings, arbitrary firings, talking down to staff, making huge school-wide changes without consulting the staff, consistently berating individual teachers at all staff-meetings if their kids didn't "grow" enough on the ACT (which the kids have to take 5-8 times per year), little to no experience in education, criticizing teachers for asking for help, "auditing rooms" and disciplining staff if a kid's shoes were so much as untied, playing favorites with staff...all were part of the "Noble experience" for this teacher.
