65k in NYC feels tight, and Success Academy has a rep for long hours and a pretty intense, metrics-heavy culture — even for coaches. If you want structure and fast resume growth, it could be solid, but I’d nail down exact hours, weekend duties, and whether it’s PE plus after-school teams. Did they list campus travel or coaching load anywhere?
Did a sample day at SA last spring — awesome kids and resources, but it ran 7:15–5:30 with a game night tacked on. If you’re tempted, ask for a week-by-week schedule by season and whether there are stipends for game travel and late hours.
