Responsibility Increases Student Equity (RISE)

RISE is an accelerated program for students entering 5th Grade. This program is designed to close the academic achievement gap for overaged students. Many of our RISE participants are students who have been retained for two or more grade levels. We use an intense curriculum and address students’ social-emotional needs. RISE students that successfully complete the program transition to 7th Grade. When students exit the program, we hold a transition meeting with the receiving school to acclimate students to their transitioning school.
