Pros

Great educational mission as an alternative school setting for ED and SPED students.

Cons

Crazy owner ruins the entire teaching experience! Kathy the CEO is a bona fide narcissist (Definition: narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's own attributes.) If you prefer working in an environment of professionalism and collegiality stay far away.

Pros

School is small and it is super easy to get hired here, and a fast commute.

Cons

Super low pay, you have no job security, you are forced to volunteer unpaid to tutor students after school, and interviews with admin are photographed and video recorded without your consent. The administrator's son should have never been allowed to teach here, stay there or work with students or be around them. The students are bottom of the barrel and there's lots of grade inflation and the students come here as they were kicked out of all other schools for behavior issues.
