RISE Southeast Raleigh Charter School

RISE Southeast Raleigh Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the RISE Southeast Raleigh Charter School district, located in Raleigh, North Carolina. With a total enrollment of 479 students, the school has a predominantly African American student population (70.77%) and a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (99.37% receive free or reduced-price lunch).

While the school's science proficiency rates are higher than the state averages, its mathematics and reading proficiency rates are generally lower, suggesting a need to focus on improving core academic areas. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools for the past three years, indicating significant challenges in academic performance. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 could be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

Overall, RISE Southeast Raleigh Charter School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, particularly in mathematics and reading, despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's consistently low statewide ranking highlights the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices and resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement.
