Open Quote I have been working for RISE Academy School of Science and Technology for more than 10 years, since the school open doors. I have nothing but words of satisfaction and a great sense of accomplishment seen how RISE has bloomed in the great institution it is. Strong curricular content, a considerable number of extracurricular activities, beautiful premises, great staff, and a very supportive parent community. I love RISE and I know it has been here to stay for many many years, creating scientists for the 21st and 22nd....and more centuries to come. Close Quote

Open Quote Rise Academy is great. I spend lots of fun time learning and getting better in my grades. My teachers were all supportive. When I was struggling in any class, my teacher was there. The school is neat and clean all the year through. I am going to miss Rise, as I have to leave to high school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
