Pros

Great families and excellent kids to teach. Free lunch!

Cons

Mgt is awful. New admins who are unqualified are running a school and they should value their employees. They rule an environment based on fear and intimidation. So sad what this once-incredible school is becoming. Dates and events change constantly. Lots of prep time wasted, as a result. School doesn’t post a yearly calendar! Students coming to school who cannot do work or handle a rigorous curriculum and mgt says it’s because parents about their kids issues. They lie, and need to get a clue...They are losing all their good teachers!

Not a good school to work for

Pros

It's a place where talented teachers work together in order to provide excellent education. There is a FREE warm lunch provided every day.

Cons

Management is done using the old fashioned top-down style. Teachers have no voice. There is no "Academic Council" or other group that consists of elected faculty members who work closely with the school's administration. Criticism of any form is considered inappropriate and will be held against the teacher in upcoming reviews. As a result, there is low morale, frustration, and above average turnover among faculty members. In case a teacher struggles, there is no help, but only warnings, and most likely, the teacher's contract won't get renewed.

Not a positive environment!

Pros

Free lunch and opportunities for fun parties, even though spouses are rarely welcome

Cons

Terrible management, no support for teachers. Very punitive in their decisions. No feedback to see how you are doing, and they treat employees like children. Constantly fire people and hire new employees quickly. Very High turnover. If they don’t like you, you are no longer spoken to by any admins, and chances are, since they have audio and video equipment watching your every move, they’ll fire you before you have a chance to resign.
