Rise Academy

Summary:

Rise Academy is a public charter elementary school located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 147 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school has a predominantly Asian student population, with smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Rise Academy is struggling academically compared to both the state averages and nearby schools. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than the state averages. This is particularly true for Asian students and English Language Learners. Rise Academy serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 90.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, nearby schools like Capitol Hill Magnet/Rondo and Nova Classical Academy Lower School have much higher academic performance and rankings.

The comparison to nearby schools also reveals that they have more racially diverse student populations, with higher percentages of White, African American, and Hispanic students. Schools like Early Education Ben Mays/Rondo and Adams Magnet Elementary serve a similar socioeconomic demographic to Rise Academy, but with better academic outcomes. This suggests that Rise Academy may need to implement significant improvements to its educational program and support systems to better serve its predominantly low-income, Asian student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
