Pros

Most of your DPS experience is determined by the culture and values of your school, so if you have a strong principal and colleagues you're great! DPS has a diverse set of students and the teacher's union has been successful at negotiating some compensation increases.

Cons

Ineffective school board and superintendent; declining student performance; too many admins without clearly defined roles and responsibilities; culture of mediocrity.
