While the school has fantastic students and a great overall environment (only reason I gave it any stars), the administration's handling of staff is deeply concerning. The principal is not up to his job, easily corruptible, wields significant power, and the headmaster unquestioningly follows his recommendations, even in questionable situations.
If you are required to report a serious student violation (such as a controlled substance violation where the student faces expulsion or probation), the student/family can get you fired. They can literally complain about you to the principal, turn the situation around, and get YOU in trouble. Instead of holding the student and family accountable, the principal turns on the reporting teacher or coach. This includes extensive investigations, pulling students out of class for interrogations, and compiling any minor or exaggerated issue to justify termination.
This seems to be a recurring pattern, especially easy to pull on new hires. Even if you excel in your roles, receive strong reviews, and are well-liked by students and colleagues, you are not safe.
Employees- DO NOT report serious student violations or YOU will be targeted and terminated. Lay low and do not "STAND OUT" and you should be fine. read more
