Pros

Mundo Verde on paper looks a fantastic place to work. Lots of applicants consider this growing Charter school with a long wait list for students. It uses Responsive Classroom, it is doing Expeditionary Learning, it composts and recycles, is environmentally sustainable, it is a Spanish immersion school. It is in a new building with large windows, lots of light and nice architecture. It seems to have it all.

Cons

There is a high turnover of teachers. They have a growing discipline issue where students are openly defiant and refused to cooperate with teachers. The administration is increasingly dismissive of the issues and has not seemed to take it the issues seriously. The administration is very condescending towards teachers which makes it a very discouraging place to work.

Pros

Dedicated teachers and staff who care deeply for their students.

Cons

The students and many staff members are great, but the school’s leadership and management (new executive director) need serious improvement. Communication is inconsistent, staff concerns are often dismissed, and support from administration is lacking. Morale is low, and the work environment can feel unnecessarily stressful due to poor leadership practices. The school has potential, but stronger management and accountability are needed.
