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:
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nothing would improve newspaper criticism so much as the knowledge that it was to be read by men too hardy to acquiesce in the authoritative statement of the reviewer.”
—Richard Holt Hutton (1826–1897)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
