Pros

Great learning opportunities. Some of the best professional development. Loved working with kids and families who really cared.

Cons

Long hours, non-collaborative work environment, strange company culture (lots of gossip, talking about other teachers, trying to "beat" other teachers' data). There is overall a lack of compassion, camaraderie and teamwork both among and between different grade teams.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy you found value in our professional development and enjoyed working with our kids and families. It is unfortunate to hear about your feelings about our staff culture. Your experience does not align with most of the other feedback we’ve received but we will definitely continue to focus on building and maintaining a tight and positive staff culture.

Pros

* Teachers are provided with classroom materials and resources. * Teachers are not required to pay for or print materials on their own. * Operations team supports printing and material preparation.

Cons

* Printing machines frequently break down, causing delays and disruptions. * Teachers do not have direct access to printing and must rely on Operations. * Teacher supply requests are often limited or denied despite classroom needs. * Staff morale and student joy feel very low or nonexistent. * School leadership creates a culture of fear when data is not where it is expected to be. * There is little accountability placed on parents regarding attendance and scholar responsibilities. * Attendance policies are extremely strict for staff and students. * Spirit days lack excitement because students are often still restricted by uniform expectations. * Overall school culture can feel overly rigid and stressful rather than supportive and uplifting.
