Does five administrators and eleven academic teachers seem like reasonable staffing for a school of 156 seventh through ninth graders? Remember, the school is still hiring, so more teachers will be hired by the start of school. We also don't know how many of these teachers are full-time and how many are part-time. The website says that they are looking for part-time teachers...understandable if they don't get many takers for that. How many certified teachers can afford, or want to work part time?
As we'd expect, there are lots of science and technology teachers. Are there to be no foreign languages but Latin offered? No physical education other than tae kwon do? (Sensei's little ninjas!) No music classes? World literature will be taught. Hopefully, the kids will not be assigned, "The New Human Revolution."
