Pros

Pretty campus, few student discipline problems, smart and professional faculty, abundance of resources for teachers and students, parental involvement, high student engagement.

Cons

Administration rules by fear, threats, and scrutiny without due diligence to examine core issues. Management treats faculty like inferiors but creates an image that teachers are well-respected, trusted, and supported. Teachers are always in fear of their jobs and how they are perceived by administration and parents. 50+ hour work weeks are the norm.
