Pros
The diverse student population is a definite draw. You get to play a role in educating economically disadvantaged children and molding the future productive citizens of our country (ideally).
Cons
District gives teachers and administrators strong financial incentives to cheat on TELPAS and other tests (because good scores affect funding). Many administrators are in their positions because they are bilingual or they had unusually high student test scores. Unfortunately, they can't speak or write proper English. How can they teach it if they don't even know it themselves? This is not a "Love and Logic" district. I reported physical violence by a teacher and nothing happened. A parent reported the same thing, by the same teacher, and nothing happened. The teacher is still there despite numerous reports about her verbal abuse of students. I reported testing improprieties and the principal loudly threatened me "Mind your own business and don't worry about what goes on around you or I will write you up."
