Pros

Good health benefits, great and hard working colleagues, you can learn from other teachers.

Cons

If you are a person of color do not work here or send your kids to this network. The school advertises a diverse by design model to get your attention and get you to join the school. Diverse by design is nothing but a buzzword in this network. Teachers and students of color are not supported. The principal of the elementary school is so out of touch with reality and makes people believe she is an ally until you push back on her Eurocentric and biased practices. The leadership team is not equipped to support teachers. If you want to grow and develop as an educator this is not the place for you. The only diversity you will see in this school is from their advertisement - in which they tokenizing people of color to be their spokesperson.

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.
