Summary

Rise Charter School is a small K-12 alternative/charter school in Kimberly, Idaho, serving 193 students with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7. As part of the Kimberly District, the school sits in the middle of the local range for economic diversity, with 37.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch — lower than nearby Valley School (58.4%) and Murtaugh Schools (59.5%).

The most striking story at Rise is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 22.6% in 2022-23 to just 7.3% in 2025-26 — now less than half the state rate of 13.8% and well below the Kimberly District average of 14.5%. Academically, the school shows clear pockets of strength: 61.1% of 5th graders are proficient in science, far outpacing the district (41.9%) and state (44.0%), and 39.1% of 8th graders are proficient in math, beating the district by more than 11 points. Third-grade ELA (43.8%) also tops the district rate of 36.0%.

However, overall literacy is a persistent concern. All-Grades ELA proficiency sits at 40.8%, roughly 13 points below the state average of 54.0% and below the Kimberly District's 49.0%. Grade-level data shows particular softness in 4th-grade ELA (30.0%) and 8th-grade ELA (30.4%). With only 193 students spread across K-12, small cohorts mean scores can swing year to year, but the pattern suggests literacy instruction in upper-elementary and middle-school grades may need attention. That said, Rise outperforms Twin Falls Virtual Schoolhouse on every shared academic metric. Unlike nearby alternative schools such as Xavier Charter School, Rise does not report a graduation rate, making it harder to gauge how older students transition after leaving.
