Summary

Rise Kohyang Middle is a public middle school serving 280 students in grades 6-8 in Los Angeles, operating within its own Rise Kohyang Middle District, and stands out for its consistent academic improvement and strong support for vulnerable student groups.

The school is on a positive trajectory, having improved from a 2-star to a 3-star rating and now ranking in the 62nd percentile among California middle schools. It performs particularly well in Science and shows steady growth in English Language Arts from 6th to 8th grade. A key strength is its effectiveness with specific student populations, earning 4-star ratings for its work with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, those in special education, and English language learners. While mathematics proficiency is an area for growth, the school manages chronic absenteeism better than several nearby schools like John H. Liechty Middle and Vista Charter Middle.

Within its local area, Rise Kohyang Middle is the second-highest performing middle school, trailing only the higher-ranked Magnolia Science Academy 6. The school invests more per student than most neighbors, which appears to fund specialized supports yielding strong results. With continued focus on mathematics and addressing a performance gap between female and male students, the school's upward trend suggests it is a solid and improving choice for families in the community.
