Cons

-Work/Life balance -White students outperform all other demographics, and the goal of reducing the gap by 50% in a single school year is unreasonable for teachers -Would love to see more BIPOC folx in leadership roles other than culture Associating BIPOC folx with discipline can have a negative impact on students -Unclear vision for students with exceptionalities

Pros

Excellent talent acquisition; administration knows how to build a great team of peers. High-quality student interactions. Good pay, which leadership leverages via counter-offers to prevent turnover.

Cons

Leadership prioritizes high-level metrics over daily operational efficiency and employee well-being. Inconsistent management practices and clear issues with favoritism. Administration relies heavily on current corporate/educational buzzwords without implementing substantive systemic solutions.
