Uncommon Bed-Stuy East Charter School NYC

Bedford Stuyvesant Collegiate Charter School, part of the Uncommon Schools network, serves a smaller student body in grades 5-8 with a rigorous, college-preparatory mission. The school emphasizes a disciplined environment, a longer school day and year, and a significant homework load, including daily reading and required written work in every class. Academically, the school demonstrates strengths in middle school, with ELA and Math proficiency rates above the citywide median and consistently outperforming its district. The curriculum is internally developed, data-driven, and features a strong focus on literacy. Parent satisfaction is exceptionally high, with survey results showing overwhelmingly positive feedback on the school environment and communication. While the school aims to provide a calm and orderly setting, student survey results indicate some concerns regarding bullying and physical altercations, and the school's suspension rate is notably high. Students often continue their education at Uncommon high schools to pursue their college readiness goals.
