Pros

Brooklyn Prospect has long maintained its reputation as one of the best schools in District 15. I've worked at Brooklyn Prospect for several years, and it continues to be where I'd like to send my own children to school one day. The teaching staff is brilliant, highly educated, and collaborative. The leadership is extremely approachable and willing to listen. I also enjoy a good work-life balance, which I know isn't the case according to teachers who have taught all the big NYC charters and ended up much happier at Brooklyn Prospect. Any teacher with good teaching instincts and a strong work ethic can be successful at BPCS.

Cons

I wouldn't mind being paid a bit more, but who wouldn't? Overall, the work continues to be engaging and rewarding, and the culture lines up with my personal values. That's what keeps me here.

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.
