Pros

The opportunity to work with students who deserve just as much of a headstart as their wealthier counterparts.

Cons

The administration is often demeaning when speaking to staff, calling it feedback. There is a culture of you are either with us or against us. Should you have an opinion different than lead staff you are bullied and ultimately pushed out. They also teach to the test, in effort to improve data.

Uncommon Schools is a really positive, warm environment. People work hard and have tons of joy in their collaboration!

We are growing quickly, so the work load is busy! This isn't really a con, just something for new folks to be aware of :)
