| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1: | UNCOMMON SCHOOLS NEW YORK CITY PREPARES OUR STUDENTS TO ENTER, SUCCEED IN, AND GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE. OUR ORGANIZATION COMPRISES 23 HIGH-PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOLS LOCATED IN BROOKLYN NEIGHBORHOODS, INCLUDING BROWNSVILLE, CROWN HEIGHTS, AND EAST NEW YORK. THIS YEAR, WE ARE PROVIDING A K-12 PATHWAY FOR 8,000+ STUDENTS AGED 5-18 ACROSS EIGHT ELEMENTARY, ELEVEN MIDDLE, AND FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS. WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING REGULAR TOUCHPOINTS, ACCESS TO RESOURCES, AND CAREER GUIDANCE TO 1,000+ ALUMNI AGED 18-24 WHO ARE PURSUING COLLEGE DEGREES AND POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS. OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ARE PRIMARILY PEOPLE OF COLOR FROM LOW-INCOME BACKGROUNDS WHO LIVE IN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS OF BROOKLYN. MORE THAN EIGHT IN TEN STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE- OR REDUCED-PRICE LUNCH, 89% ARE BLACK, 7% ARE LATINX, AND 13% HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS. UNCOMMON NYC IS MANAGED BY UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. (USI) A CHARTER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION (CMO) THAT OPERATES 53 HIGH-PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOLS ACROSS NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, AND MASSACHUSETTS. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION, UNCOMMON NYC IS COMMITTED TO OUR CORE EDUCATIONAL MODEL, WITH EACH SCHOOL EXHIBITING: 1) A COLLEGE-PREPARATORY MISSION; 2) A LONGER SCHOOL DAY AND YEAR; 3) HIGH STANDARDS FOR ACADEMICS AND CHARACTER; 4) AN ACADEMICALLY-FOCUSED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT; 5) A FOCUS ON ACCOUNTABILITY AND DATA-DRIVEN INSTRUCTION; AND 6) A FACULTY OF COMMITTED AND TALENTED LEADERS AND TEACHERS. YEAR AFTER YEAR, WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY PROVEN THAT, BY RELENTLESSLY INNOVATING HOW OUR SCHOOLS IMPLEMENT THESE ATTRIBUTESNO MATTER WHAT CHALLENGES MIGHT ARISEOUR STUDENTS CAN CONTINUE TO DEFY THE ODDS AND LEAP OVER ACHIEVEMENT AND COLLEGE-READINESS BARS. THE UNCOMMON NYC CLASS OF '22 HAD A 94% ON-TIME GRADUATION RATE. THAT FAR OUTPACES THE CITY'S REGULAR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHICH HAD AN 81% GRADUATION RATE IN 2021, THE LAST AVAILABLE YEAR, AND THE 53% RATE FOR BROOKLYN'S DISTRICT 23, WHERE MANY OF OUR STUDENTS LIVE. LAST YEAR, 96% OF THE UNCOMMON NYC CLASS OF '22 TOOK AT LEAST ONE AP EXAM IN HIGH SCHOOL, COMPARED TO 35% FOR THE NATIONAL CLASS OF '21, THE MOST RECENT DATA AVAILABLE. ALMOST HALF OF THE UNCOMMON NYC CLASS PASSED AT LEAST ONE EXAM COMPARED TO ONLY 23% NATIONALLY. 90% OF NYC STUDENTS IN THE CLASS OF '22 INTENDED TO ENROLL IN COLLEGE IN THE FALL, INCLUDING 78% TO FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES. THAT'S HIGHER THAN THE RATE FOR STUDENTS FROM PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOLS IN 2020, THE LATEST YEAR AVAILABLE, WHEN 73% OF PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WENT STRAIGHT TO FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES. FURTHER, AMONG NEW BROOKLYN GRADUATES INTENDING TO START COLLEGE THIS FALL, 50% ARE HEADING TO COLLEGES THAT ARE THE VERY, HIGHLY OR THE MOST SELECTIVE. RECENT SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES AT UNCOMMON NYC, WE MADE IMPORTANT STRIDES IN SY21-22 AMIDST A YEAR THAT WAS DIFFICULT BEYOND ANYTHING THAT WE OR OTHERS IN EDUCATION ANTICIPATED DURING THE ONE-AND-A-HALF YEARS WHEN WE AWAITED THE RETURN TO FULL-TIME IN-PERSON LEARNING. STUDENTS MADE PROGRESS IN RECOVERING FROM LOST LEARNING TIME. AP RESULTS AND OUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE REMAINED HIGH. IN SURVEYS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF PARENTS SAID THEIR STUDENTS' SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND WELLBEING WERE SUPPORTED AT SCHOOL, A PARTICULARLY REASSURING MESSAGE IN A MAJOR TRANSITIONAL YEAR. WE ARE EXCITED FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH WE EXPECT WILL OFFER GREATER "NORMALCY" THAN SY21-22 AND PROVIDE OUR EDUCATORS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRILL DEEPER INTO THE CORE STRATEGIES WE BEGAN IMPLEMENTING TO ADDRESS COVID-RELATED IMPACTS. WE ARE MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO MINIMIZE CHANGE IN SY22-23 AND CONCENTRATE ON WHAT WE KNOW WORKS. ANCHORED IN THIS PHILOSOPHY, WE'VE SET FIVE SY22-23 PRIORITIES FOR UNCOMMON NYC: 1) DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATE STUDENT LEARNING TO OVERCOME COVID-RELATED GAPS AND CONTINUE ENHANCING INSTRUCTION TO PROVIDE INSPIRING, RIGOROUS LEARNING IN EVERY GRADE; 2) EMBED SEL AND DEI MORE DEEPLY THROUGHOUT UNCOMMON TO PROMOTE STUDENT AND STAFF WELLBEING; 3) EXPAND OUR COLLEGE ACCESS AND ALUMNI IMPACT INITIATIVES TO ENSURE OUR STUDENTS ARE ON THE PATH TO DEGREE COMPLETION AND CAREER PATHWAYS OF THEIR CHOICE; 4) DEVELOP SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT OUR CONTINUED GROWTH IN NYC; AND 5) ATTRACT AND RETAIN TALENT IN ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT MARKETS EDUCATION HAS EVER FACED. WE BELIEVE THESE EFFORTS WILL HELP US PROVIDE THE HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION OUR 8,000+ SCHOLARS NEED AND DESERVE. |
