Pros

Job availability in Houston ISD is large compared to surrounding districts. Also, if you're a good teacher, you can really make a difference in the lives of your kids.

Cons

Many of the schools in HISD have high poverty rates. Also, if you're teaching in a secondary school, it is questionable if the feeder elementary schools have taught basic discipline before they come to you.

Pros

At an EAS school, there is more autonomy. It is not so microamnaged. Free Pre-k for your kids. Available bonus pay through PFP model.

Cons

Not much coaching happening at EAS schools (for a first year teacher that may be difficult). Not all elementary schools have Pre-k so your kid may not attend the school you work at. I am finding out my new salary on THE DAY I RETURN TO WORK. Crazy.
