Pros
Great coworkers, awesome mission, love the students on most days, innovative curriculum model, Social Emotional Learning and Diversity Equity and Inclusion focused.
Cons
Terribly managed. Treehouse and Admin seem to have no clue how bad it’s been in the classroom and how much the pandemic has impacted these students behaviorally. No one could have predicted how bad it would be. 13 educators all announced they were leaving at the end of the school year. Many more that are staying but have a foot out the door. We had at least 2 Ops Officers quit at the start of the year and a bunch of people quit mid year. Bizarrely the school still moved forward with letting go a few quality educators and not renewing their contracts despite all this turnover. Students have no accountability. Some students were given “accommodations” to roam around the school hallways. This trickled down to lead to additionally escalating student behaviors through the year where a student choked out another one while on one of these “breaks.” Did they take this privilege away? Nope.
