Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant Uncommon Prep Charter School

About

Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant Uncommon Prep Charter School serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, operating as part of the Uncommon Schools network. The school demonstrates strong academic performance in its elementary and middle grades, with ELA and Math proficiency rates well above the citywide median. For its high school division, the school achieves a college enrollment rate that is notably above the citywide median, reflecting its mission to prepare students for higher education. However, the school's graduation rate is near the citywide 25th percentile, and Regents exam pass rates across various subjects are generally low. The percentage of students participating in accelerated coursework is also below the citywide 25th percentile. Parents express very high satisfaction with the school, praising its academic focus and nurturing environment. While the Uncommon Schools network is known for its rigorous academic approach and high expectations, some past accounts have described a highly structured and disciplined environment.
