Company Overview
Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing public charter schools committed to providing an exceptional K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities.
We have built schools that reflect our student population, with over 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as people of color. With 52 schools serving more than 19,000 students in five cities – Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark, and Rochester – we strive to create a space where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our approach emphasizes academic rigor, co-curricular activities, and social-emotional learning to prepare students for success in college and beyond. We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally.
