Vantaggi
Incredible teachers, many are world class! The students are academically gifted. Cupertino is a cool place to work and the teacher lounge may be one of the best I've ever seen. You'll see staff often working outside because the campus is well maintained and the Northern California weather is really great! Colleagues are wonderful and get along well with each other. Some really good people work here. Teachers don't leave jobs--they flee due to poor administration..... The grass can be greener elsewhere. Kids are kids.
Svantaggi
Leadership at the top is scattered. Lots of ideas and talk, but not much in the way of follow-through. Big ideas without the plans/drive to actually make them happen (like the high school plan that didn't come to fruition). The pay is decent, but definitely not the best in the area at comparable schools.
If you LOVE meetings, duty, and no substitute teachers, you'll love working here.
