I have been at ACA for several years and I can say that everyday I feel like I am working with family. Other teachers and I are actually friends and each day I look forward to working alongside them, teaching our students. 
The Headmaster and Principals take a personal investment in me professionally and personally. 
In regards to my ratings above:
- Job Work/Life Balance: Personally, I feel the demands of teachers are acceptable. I look forward to helping out at after school events and supporting my students. I do see the demands placed on administrators from the top and see them working all hours of the evening. They always do what they need to to get the job done, but I would not want to advance here if that means sacrificing family time. 
- Compensation/Benefits: I have interviewed at other Christian/private schools so can confidently say ACA is competitive with other private schools in pay. Other benefits vary, but that seems comparable as well.
Job Security/Advancement: There are employees here that have been here before it was ACA (it was another school before) so it is a place you can get plugged in and stay as long as you are doing a great job. The school has grown so more advancement opportunities may be available in coming years?
- Management: Of those in management I interact with, the Headmaster, Principals, Assistant Principals are well-liked and respected. I appreciate their positive attitudes and focusing on what's best for the teachers and students. 
- Job Culture: There is no perfect place and I appreciate ACA recognizes the areas that they are strong in (loving community, glorifying God, discipleship, academics), yet recognizes the areas that need development (facilities, programs/clubs, athletics). Like anything, I choose to focus on the positive and appreciate the impact I get to make on future generations. 

● Job security and advancement
Advancement and job security is based on inner relationships. If you are not friends with the head “admin” they will try and get the most from you with no prospect of advancement or pay raise.

● Management
Upper school administration spends more time looking to critique and find things you are doing wrong than they are to give you credit for your work. They have perfectionist expectations with no supportive communication.

● Culture
They emphasize a team culture but most people besides a few are fake about it.

● Overall
The school would be a great place to work if there was a qualified leader of the upper school admin. Working here you will get no support or credit for your work and only criticism and negative feedback. Unfortunately, I have multiple instances while working here where I was mistreated, falsely criticized, and never got positive feedback or credit for the work I did. The communication received on a regular basis was borderline disrespectful. Often ideas and ability was questioned and had little room to share thoughts and ideas. Job security is strictly based on whether or not you are in the inner circle of admin. Every email I received I was nervous about what I was going to be called out for doing wrong next, ideas I had were shut down and then later were put to use without being acknowledged or receiving credit for. Many great teachers as co workers and a great headmaster. Upper school administration is poor. On top of it all they will try and get the most work out of you by asking you to do multiple jobs for minimal compensation.

This place is truly a nightmare. The administration does not listen to any requests of any kind. They do not back teachers and are very quick to paint them in a bad light to parents. Everything is so disorganized and they all make promises they never make good on. I almost quit numerous times throughout the year but did not want to abandon my students.

The administration is not well trained. Advancement is based on popularity rather than qualifications. There is a lot of insecurities at the top. The headmaster, however, is wonderful. They have limited his power which stinks.

During the school year, I work three hours everyday as an  Aftercare Counselor. I work with grades K5-1st.Its a very fun job, and its great to see the kids smiling face everyday!
