Pros

This is a beautiful and supportive school community with good SLP supervision and great students

Large caseload to be handled in the least possible hours, so large groups and a busy schedule, difficult to give each kid individual attention

Thank you for your constructive feedback. We know our ESS/SLP staff help to make our schools a special place to learn and thrive for all of our students. Thank you for taking the time to address such an important issue for employees, which impacts our overall health and wellbeing. Finding balance in a work environment is a collective effort on the part of administration and the employees, and that partnership is not always aligned at times. We appreciate your input on this issue, and we have in recent years made it our goal to eliminate the non-essential burdens on teachers. We will continue to make improvements in this area to help teachers handle a more manageable workload.

We appreciate your feedback. We know our teachers and staff make our schools incredibly unique and special. Thank you for providing us with feedback on the salary scale for teachers and teaching assistants at Great Hearts. We are aware that our salaries are lower than some other schools. We have been engaged in ongoing work on this issue for several years despite no significant funding increases from the states in which we operate, and simultaneously we must balance the need to maintain smaller class sizes, robust network resources, and safe and welcoming campuses. Great Hearts does provide excellent benefits (medical, dental, etc.), with employee premiums that are significantly below the national and regional averages.
