Uncommon Schools Snapshot
Uncommon Schools operates outstanding urban public schools that close the opportunity gap and prepare students from low-income communities to graduate from college.
We are a nonprofit network of 53 college-prep schools in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Our schools consistently rank among the highest-performing because we:
-Believe in Every Student: All students have the potential for college success, and we cultivate their curiosity, grit, and achievement.
-Optimize Teaching and Learning: We create and refine systems that help teachers teach and students learn at the highest levels.
-Invest in People Development: We recognize that great teachers and leaders are essential, so we prioritize professional growth through weekly coaching, feedback, and ongoing training.
As a result, our students pass AP exams at twice the national average and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers. This success is no accident—it’s built on a foundation of continuous improvement, collaborative teamwork, and unwavering belief in our students’ potential.
