    Default job background
    Description

    Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities.

    We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color.

    Uncommon currently manages 53 schools serving more than 20,000 students in five cities:

    We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally.

    We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

    Rochester Prep currently manages six schools serving students in grades K through 12.

    We believe in strong authentic relationships between teachers and students, supported by effective school systems and an engaging instructional model that enables students to flourish academically and personally.

    Rochester Prep schools are consistently some of the city's top-performing, and our students have an impressive 85% college acceptance rate.

    At Uncommon, our College Counselors work closely with students and parents to find the right colleges and universities to match their goals and enable them to achieve their dreams.

    College Counselors ensure aligned college matches for students regarding school community, size, location, student to faculty ratio, academic interests, financial aid, and extracurricular interests.

    The ultimate goal of the College Counselor is to ensure that each student graduates ready to thrive in college and beyond.

    You'll teach 11th and 12th grade college seminar courses in which you will guide students through the entire college application process.

    This includes (but is not limited to) exploring careers, identifying most appropriate post-secondary pathways, writing personal statements, building resumes, securing letters of recommendation, and applying for financial aid and scholarships.

    You'll build a culture of college and career readiness amongst all students by creating inspirational and instructional signage, advising students in the course selection process, and helping plan and execute events such as Career Day, SAT School Day, Senior Signing Day, College Acceptance Forums, College Visits and Alumni Day.

    You'll build relationships with college admissions offices and advocate relentlessly on behalf of your students to facilitate the admissions and financial aid process.

    You'll support the planning and execution of various college visits and information sessions for students of all grade levels.

    Passionate commitment to the mission of Uncommon Schools and investment in our vision for being an anti-racist organization.

    Prior experience working with high school students and families and/or within the college admissions field, especially in an urban setting with BIPOC students.

    Ability to communicate well with others and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills with students, parents, colleagues and community members.
    Skilled in using data to drive improvements in the college counseling process.
    Strong digital literacy, including Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, Naviance, and PowerSchool.
    Bachelor's degree is required; Master's degree preferred.
    Minimum of two years experience in an urban district or charter school setting.

    We believe our compensation philosophy and benefits should reflect our values—equity, transparency, and clarity—to enhance our ability to attract and retain talent and reward their expertise.

    Our staff receive best-in-class training, coaching, and support to develop and operate mission-driven schools that provide a high-quality education to our students and families.


    Compensation for this position:
    The starting compensation for this role based in Rochester is between $50,000 to $64,700. The starting pay will depend on various factors that may include but are not limited to professional experience, education, training, certifications, tenure with Uncommon Schools, and work location


    Benefits:

    We offer comprehensive, flexible, and competitive benefits that support the personal health, wellness, and finances of our staff and their families.

    We are committed to building an exceptional team that reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students.

    We also strive to ensure an inclusive community by creating a space for meaningful dialogue about issues of race and identity for our staff and students.

    As an equal opportunity employer, Uncommon provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
