Summary

Rise Academy School Of Science And Technology in Margate, FL, is a public charter school serving 338 students in grades K-8, and it stands out as a top performer in the Broward district with a consistent 4-star rating and a state rank in the top 21% of all Florida elementary schools.

One of the most remarkable features of Rise Academy is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.4%, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 33.6% and the state average of 31.4%. This high level of student attendance reflects a strong school culture and family engagement. The school also excels in advanced coursework, achieving 100% proficiency in Civics and 90% in Algebra 1, far exceeding district and state averages. Its middle school program is particularly strong, with 8th graders outperforming the district by 26 percentage points in science and 22 points in math. Interestingly, Rise Academy achieves these results with lower spending per student ($9,135) compared to nearby Renaissance Charter School At Coral Springs ($11,294), yet outperforms it in nearly every subject.

While Rise Academy shines overall, it shows a consistent dip in 5th grade performance, with proficiency rates of 65% in both math and ELA, the lowest of any grade level. This pattern suggests a transition point that may benefit from targeted support. Compared to West Broward Academy, another nearby K-8 charter with a similar low-poverty profile, Rise Academy is ranked in the top quarter of the state while West Broward Academy sits in the bottom third, highlighting that effective leadership and instruction are key differentiators. Overall, Rise Academy offers a strong, academically focused environment with a proven track record of growth and achievement.

I have been working for RISE Academy School of Science and Technology for more than 10 years, since the school open doors. I have nothing but words of satisfaction and a great sense of accomplishment seen how RISE has bloomed in the great institution it is. Strong curricular content, a considerable number of extracurricular activities, beautiful premises, great staff, and a very supportive parent community. I love RISE and I know it has been here to stay for many many years, creating scientists for the 21st and 22nd....and more centuries to come. Close Quote

Rise Academy is great. I spend lots of fun time learning and getting better in my grades. My teachers were all supportive. When I was struggling in any class, my teacher was there. The school is neat and clean all the year through. I am going to miss Rise, as I have to leave to high school. Close Quote
