Critic Reviews

Leah Greenblatt

Season 1 Review: A well-timed small-screen counterpart to Waiting for "Superman," Pride is essentially Extreme Makeover: School Edition. But whereas "Superman" digs into the systemic failures of public education, this feel-good hour focuses primarily on the cosmetic. Read full review

Paige Wiser

Season 1 Review: Maybe School Pride doesn't have the drama of a single sob story, but by the end of the pilot you'll feel both ashamed and inspired. This is what it looks like to volunteer, and there's no reason why you can't do something. Go team! Read full review

Mary McNamara

Season 1 Review: It's a noble goal and one hopes that after viewing School Pride, volunteers spring up, committees form and checks are written. Because to merely watch the show and wallow in its many throat-tightening moments would be to remain a voyeur, and then you're just part of the problem. Read full review

Hank Stuever

Season 1 Review: Every scene in School Pride feels like the seventh or 10th take and too contrived, even by the low standards of reality TV....I will say that School Pride seems less manipulative and showy than its forebears. Read full review

Mike Hale

Season 1 Review: If you don't have a taste for tears and cheers and group hugs, a lot of time in School Pride is actually spent watching paint dry. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: Soboroff seems positively amazed in the premiere when he lands an interview with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, asking who and what was responsible for the school's dilapidated condition. The not-exactly-press-shy governor rattled off a laundry list of factors: "Labor, special interests, a lack of parent participation, a lack of funding. Clearly, I would say government." Hey, his term's almost up. Let's give him a show. Maybe that will at least have more substance to it. Read full review

Barry Garron

Season 1 Review: So give School Pride an A for good intentions, a D for research into what ails public schools and an F for deliberately concealing the fact that it took the network and its sponsors--and not some empowered community--to revitalize a school. Read full review
