Pros
>The network is making a huge impact upon the education of minorities in Chicago. >College completion rate of its students is 23% higher than the national average for African Americans and Latinos. >This pro refers to my own campus, Noble Street College Prep: It tries very hard to care for, retain and promote each student, the motto is: Love and High Expectations.
Cons
>Teacher salaries are 30% lower than Chicago Public Schools. >However, Pals and network administration get paid on par with Chicago Public Schools (what gives?). >Be prepared to work long hours -- that is expected from charter schools, but makes pay differential between Admn and staff all the more unfair.
