Pros

The only two things that kept me going at this place were the few students who enjoyed coming to school and weren't lazy and the down to earth teachers.

Cons

Very little direction, school is literally a circus each day, students can get away with talking to teachers very disrespectfully and the directors do not reprimand those students at all. The pay is horrible considering you get paid hourly so for all those extra hours you stay after for projects, activities, etc and what not, you do not get paid. School day goes until 5 pm. Directors do not thank you for doing anything extra or acknowledge any favors you do to help out. Most poorly run school if you can even call it a school. Students barely do any work, they don't get homework, etc. As a teacher you are expected to be a guidance counselor to these students too, since the school does not want to hire a psychologist to actually help these students who are going through a troublesome time. It is a shock to me that students who graduate from here even get a HS diploma. This school needs to be restructured. Teachers leave here so fast because administration does not support/help you at all. They really just need bodies since this place is a revolving door with their employees. Most unorganized place; you go in for an interview and you end up waiting 5+ hours on 2-3 different days since they are so all over the place. Biggest waste of time- do not work here. Really is a shame because there are some great kids who deserve all the resources and tools they can to succeed. The bad truly overshadows the good here.

Pros

The students are (mostly) wonderful, and the other teachers care very much for the students on an individual level. Flexible with hours, I was going to the University and I would be allowed to come in late if I needed to work on a paper or do homework.

Cons

Severe lack of structure from the owners and high level administration. They encourage creativity in new system development, however, they will not support the process and then wonder why things are not getting done. Emails are not returned and meetings are often put off indefinitely.

Pros

Administration understands that life happens, and are flexible when it comes to things like part time work, leaving early for childcare, appointments, etc. There is also a lot of room for creativity here.

Cons

This flexibility also means there is no structure, however. Administration often comes up with ideas on how to improve things, but then gives the staff little direction in how to actually implement these changes. It is also extremely difficult to contact administration about anything, even important and time-sensitive issues.
