Frederick County Public Schools Reviews

Pros

Its crappy pay, but consistent. Love my little kiddos!

Cons

I started my role in the fall [mid-COVID] so I may be too new to judge harshly. In my opinion, the principle at my school too harshly because I think empathy is important. That said, the principle is the most passive aggressive person I have ever met. I have been trying to help improve the behavioral maturity of the teachers and be there for the kiddos during this difficult time and I get roadblocks and disrespected at every turn. In my opinion, this school doesn't care about their little one's mental health.

Pros

Commute is good. Benefits are pretty good.

Cons

pay is low compared to surrounding counties

Pros

opportunities for training, growth oriented, good colleagues, nice kids

Cons

The district is getting very large so the experience of working there and knowing people is diluted.

Pros

Good pay, most of the kids are easy to work with.

Cons

When there's a major issue in the classroom, few schools are equipped to properly handle the situation and progressively discipline. The secretaries of each school are the gatekeepers of your employment; if they send a letter to the admin that they don't like you, then you will be removed from the rosters for that school with NO RECOURSE. This is a frank violation of basic labor law and needs to be changed immediately.
