Pros

The kids are great, many of the other teachers were great to work with

Cons

Administration has NO IDEA what they are doing, Instead of creating a supportive environment and supporting teachers, they blame teachers. This is an environment that is run by fear--it's toxic. The current "principal" has no prior experience as an administrator, which is obvious. The teaching materials are over 10 years old--not acceptable. Technology was changed 3 different times throughout the year--often being worked on during classes. Instead of trying to save a few bucks every couple of months and doing a complete overhaul, they should buy quality and stick with it.

Pros

Rapid growth equates to demand for positions.

Cons

This district is all smoke and mirrors. What is advertised is not what you get. The curriculum is not up to date and there are no curriculum products for students outside of sample textbooks, Teachers Pay Teachers, and released STAAR materials. If you are a passionate educator, this is not the place you want to be.
