Criticism
Like many charter schools, the Uncommon Schools network has faced a series of criticisms regarding its practices. For example, in the 2011-2012 school year, Boston's Roxbury Prep schools had a 56.1% suspension rate, which was the highest in the state. Additionally, education experts have questioned whether the pedagogy developed by Uncommon Schools and its affiliate organizations are research-based and sound.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
