Business outlook
Pros
The perks of Cristo Rey are working with very talented adults and really wonderful students. The work of the school is always challenging, so a person is never bored. The faculty is part of the decision-making process, and the school is not afraid to tackle difficult challenges in education and try innovative solutions.
Cons
The work of closing the achievement gap can be difficult, draining, and discouraging. While it is good to be solution-seeking, the administration tends to go in multiple directions at once. It would be better to focus energy on one component of the school, put resources in that component, and wait to see the data to judge the potential success.
