Pros
The kids are amazing, and there are educators that believe in what the school was originally founded for. Salary and benefits at the beginning. Raises are not up to par, so less of a pro as time goes on
Cons
1. Administrators prioritize marketing over education. Many programs do not improve the educational experience, are actively talked down upon by a majority of students and staff, yet are kept to make the school look good. 2. Administrators frequently make promises of promotion for the same position to multiple people. Jobs, promotions, and salaries are actually given based on favoritism and nepotism, not skillset. Those whose promises have been broken are given additionally responsibilities without compensation nor title. 3. Job security is dependent on favoritism. Mass firings without warning. 4. Staff absence is exceptionally high, and administration does not react timely nor appropriately. 5. Giftedness always comes second, unless it is placed third, or fourth. Administrators primary focus is on whether the curriculum is politically progressive enough and marketable enough to prospective families. 6. Administrator support is inconsistent and highly contingent on the subject matter. They actively disregard issues in subjects that they are not confident in.
