Rise Academy

Summary:

Rise Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Lubbock, Texas, with a student population of 297. The school is part of the Betty M Condra School For Education Innovation district, which is ranked 36 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rise Academy consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in reading (ranging from 68.75% to 91.67% across grades 3-8) and mathematics (ranging from 43.48% to 91.67% across grades 3-8). The school's performance is particularly impressive for specific student subgroups, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools for African American students and in the top 1% for low socioeconomic status students in reading and mathematics proficiency. Additionally, Rise Academy has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past several years, which is significantly lower than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) schools.

The consistent high performance, equity, and inclusion demonstrated by Rise Academy make it a model for effective educational practices. The school's success in supporting the academic achievement of traditionally underserved student populations, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as its significantly higher performance compared to nearby public schools, suggest that Rise Academy's educational model and practices are highly effective in promoting student learning and success.

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.
