High teacher turnover, mixed outcomes for students

Business outlook

Pros

Teachers have the freedom to be creative, progressive and to teach real knowledge instead of test taking strategies. School makes an effort to make curricula transparent to the parents and the community.

Cons

There are very few senior teachers who have worked at the school for more than a few years. The high teacher turnover is destabilizing. The project based curriculum has inconsistent outcomes. Some of the older students are completing projects that are remedial, not age appropriate. By the 11th and 12th grade, you begin to see a serious difference in terms of what HTH students actually know about math, physical science and foreign language and what their college bound, public school counterparts know. In this way, the school is sabotaging students who may be interested in a traditional career path requiring university course work.
