Rise has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White (46.85%) and Hispanic (43.24%) students. The school has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 95.2% to 100% over the past few years, which is on par with or exceeds the nearby schools like Manvel High School and Alvin High School. Additionally, Rise has had a 0% dropout rate for the past several years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages.

While Rise's test scores, as measured by the STAAR EOC assessments, are generally lower than the Alvin Independent School District and state averages across most subject areas, the school has shown some strengths in specific subjects, such as U.S. History, where its proficiency rates have been higher than the district and state. Rise's spending per student ($18,162 in 2020-2021) is higher than the nearby schools, which may be due to its smaller enrollment and the need to provide more individualized support.

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.
