Legacy College Preparatory Charter School

During my time here I observed an Executive Director not have the experience to run  an effective culturally appropriate school in an inner city. 

In addition, most “leadership” does not have the experience to effectively Coach teachers for student success. 

Professional development is “in house” so in turn it is unqualified people telling other teachers how to be better teachers (please check state test scores - they mirror DOE schools) 

Culture at the school level is more punitive than it is restorative because the staff that was hired does not have the training to administer that type of program. 

All in all this school is not in a  great neighborhood and they are offering children a sub par education. 

With test scores they are not posted to fidelity/ raw scores so there is no way to know the true data. 

Enrollment is down and job security is NOT guaranteed….please ask former staff.

The only positive about this place is the students and the staff. If you’re a teacher with experience, make sure your resume states all your experience because they low ball you and will not tell you. Some people have to do their job and some people get away with missing large deadlines that affect everyone. And people do not own their mistakes, they’ll blame the next person. If you must work here, try to stay for the full year because retention is so bad, they have to give people 3% bonuses just for staying. You have to work 5-7 outside events and meet all deadlines without a ton of professional dings (soft write up’s) to earn the other 3%. This place is toxic. Very few staff members are here for 3+ years. One year, over 15 people left.
The money keeps a lot of people there and that’s why it got 2 stars and not 1 star.

A typical day at work is very unpredictable..last minute coverages etc.  The overall culture of the high school and middle is not good and we are under enrolled. 
Jobs have been cut as well. 

The discipline is very strict which irritates students and causes more behaviors. The same model is used at both schools and is not age appropriate for children who are in high school.   

The hardest part of the job was the unwillingness of the Executor Director to admit their faults but consistently called out everyone.  

Many of the "coaches" and "admin" only experience was the school so there is no other educational outlook which can be problematic and is a direct correlation to the state exam scores. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leadership needs absolutely way better management. The students are actually not the problem. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Amount of time you have to devote outside of professional work. Being observed in a very critical manner. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some colleagues are amazing. However, others are willing to throw you under the bus to reach higher level management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Four 45 minute classes with one homeroom.

In a neighborhood where not many children are given opportunities to succeed, a little elbow grease is absolutely necessary to change the narrative. 

Is the work hard? Sure.  
Do you have to be flexible at times? Sometimes. 
Do you make growth in the end? You better believe it. 
But this is the work. 




This school is a terrible school to work at. Network leadership is poor and unqualified for their roles. Lots of unprofessionalism along staff.  LCP hires unqualified staff members. 

There is no structure. Often get confusing messages. They clock your lateness. Leadership doesn't hold teachers accountable with grading. Leadership doesn't own up to mistakes, and places blame on others. Leadership doesn't value experience.

Leadership has no respect for staff and employee morale is almost nonexistent. Leadership is clueless and only worried about data. Most students perform significantly below grade level and admin doesn't care. You will not grow as a professional. The only plus is working with students and families.

The kids aren't the problem its the staff members. Kids are being bullied by staff, Leadership doesn't do anything, and the place is a mess.

A typical day of work is dealing with teachers talking behind others back, students not being disciplined properly and not learning anything at all.

Leadership roles are given based on favoritism. Very hard to be heard. The principal is not receptive to feedback. Children are very easy to work with.
