Rise Academy


Summary:

Rise Academy is the sole public charter elementary school serving students in Saint Paul, Minnesota. With a small student population of 147 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, the school stands out for its highly skewed racial makeup, with an overwhelming 81.63% of students identifying as Asian, far exceeding the state average. However, this demographic uniqueness is overshadowed by the school's alarmingly poor academic performance, with test scores significantly below Minnesota state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. As a result, Rise Academy ranks in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in the state, raising serious concerns about the quality of education provided to its students, the majority of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds with 90.48% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The data paints a concerning picture of Rise Academy, as the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio do not appear to translate into academic success. The school's racial makeup, while unique, is not representative of the broader student population in Minnesota, and its poor performance on standardized tests suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively educate its students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This is further reflected in the school's low ranking among Minnesota elementary schools, which indicates that it is not meeting the educational needs of its community.

Overall, the data highlights the significant challenges facing Rise Academy and the need for substantial improvements to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education. While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio are typically positive factors, the data suggests that these elements alone are not enough to overcome the school's academic struggles and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the school to better serve the educational needs of the Saint Paul community.
