Pros

Beautiful facility, good pay and benefits, and lots of talented colleagues. The student body is an interesting mix and more diverse than many schools of it's caliber in Manhattan. It's overall a place that strives to be a progressive and inclusive.

Cons

Certain parents wield a lot of power and there are truly issues of equity amongst faculty and students. Job performance is not always evaluated in a equitable manner. Sometimes it seems internal politics trump actual quality of teaching. As the school becomes more popular and in demand, it seems to be losing it's Brooklyn spunkiness to a degree. There is a growing sense of entitlement amongst students and parents. The behavior of students, especially the level of respect and integrity exhibited, could be stronger if the administration made that a priority.
