Pros

The assistant director (Traci) is welcoming and very helpful.

Cons

The executive director/principal (Mustafa) doesn't care about his teachers/staff..especially if you aren't Somali. He plays favorites and will terminate you if you raise concern or don't agree with everything he says. He knows nothing about education and the struggles teachers face. The school is tight on space and he literally took an ENTIRE classroom for his office. It could be a great school if Mustafa left and allowed the assistant director (Traci) to take on his role.

Pros

Few to none. They hope that the virtual Fridays will attract job candidates, but Fridays are not enough to make this place worth working at.

Cons

The leadership is horrible. The school is being run into the ground by unqualified and incompetent people. Moreover, the students' behavior is horrible. The parents send their kids here in an attempt to insulate them from "American" culutre, but these kids are the most rude, biggoted, and racist I have ever experienced. This stringently segregated school does not provide an equal education to their students. There are 0 extra-curricular activities offered, and the only electives offered are Art and Arabic. The benefits they offer are terrible. High deductible, no medications covered, no mental health services are covered either, which is laughable because of how horribly depressed and miserable many of staff is. It'd be nice if I could go to a therapist to help me cope with this place, but that's not possible.

Pros

Some of the students are amazing. Some of the staff are great.

Cons

Very clicky. Few worthwhile trainings. Doesn’t value your time or your family. Doesn’t have the back of staff. Pay is all over the place. Some staff get great salaries to do almost nothing.
