What I love is when teachers see a scholar struggling, they don't ignore the issues and move on to the next curriculum. They go above and beyond.

For the first time in my teaching career, I feel like anything is possible. I am part of an inspiring professional team with one common goal: student success.

I have traveled across the nation, and you are one of the most inspiring teams I have ever witnessed. North Star is a mecca of hope and college promise for our children.

Education is the biggest economic, moral and social issue facing the future of the United State - as a country, if we cannot educate our children extremely well, we will not survive.

State Test Results

How are our students doing on the path to college?

Uncommon dramatically reverses the achievement gap in math in every one of our regions. By 8^th grade, Uncommon also closes the gap in reading. As you will see below, Uncommon’s performance is lowest in grades where we accept hundreds of new students (5^th and 6^th grades) every year, but we make significant gains within a two-year period.
