Pros

This is a good district for less experienced and ACP teachers. The district provides a vast amount of professional development. Turnover is so high that patience may yield more desirable results or a promotion in short order.

Cons

Very high turnover, poor management regarding student discipline, racial/ethnic tension among students and faculty alike. 30+ classes are a norm, and you will teach 6 of 7 periods unless things changed in the last year. North Houston is increasingly overrun by gang activity and that trickles down into less affluent schools such as those in Spring ISD. Dekaney is the most troubled campus, but Spring HS, is also an under-performing campus.

Pros

Staff members are amazing people to work near and are always actively engaged in the children's best interest in attempts to teach and care for them. The Aesop substitute schedule system made placement easy and convenient.

Cons

Low wages pose a financial imbalance when the teacher has her own children in daycare. High students to teachers ratio can strain the classroom management capacity even for certified teachers subbing for a permanent teacher.

Pros

Good support from nursing supervisors.

Cons

Many schools in this district are very 'clickish' and treat the nurses very poorly.
