Pros

Community, staff, joy factor, common goals, amazing work-life balance, leaders who genuinely care about your WELL being and want you to grow—my dean was incredibly supportive and I still speak to them daily even though I no longer work with them! Many of the leaders (not all) cared about me as a HUMAN!

Cons

Incompetent teachers, horrible subs, class sizes, school building was unsanitary, too many AT’s not enough teachers, teacher pairings weren’t always ideal, lack of alignment across all classes
