Summary

RISE Southeast Raleigh Charter School is a K-8 charter school in Raleigh, NC, serving 484 students from one of the most economically disadvantaged populations in the area, with 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

After hitting a crisis point in 2022-2023, RISE made a strong recovery but has recently slipped back in the state rankings. The school currently sits in the 25th percentile statewide, a step down from its previous two years in the high 30s. However, context is crucial: RISE generally outperforms comparable high-poverty schools in its immediate vicinity. It ranks above Walnut Creek Elementary and Southeast Raleigh Elementary, is tied with Smith Elementary, and trails Creech Road Elementary and Vandora Springs Elementary. By contrast, nearby schools like Washington Elementary and Hunter Elementary serve far fewer low-income students, making direct comparisons misleading.

RISE's most consistent bright spot is 8th-grade science, which has exceeded the state average for three straight years. It also edges out PreEminent Charter, its closest K-8 charter comparison, in most elementary and middle-school math subjects. Additionally, the school reports notable academic strengths for its African American and Hispanic students, who have ranked in the upper half of their respective subgroups statewide. Yet significant challenges remain. Reading proficiency varies dramatically by grade level, recent gains in elementary math have not held steady, and chronic absenteeism sits at 27.7%. While this rate is high, it mirrors the broader pattern seen in nearby high-poverty schools, such as Smith (29.7%) and Southeast Raleigh (32%). RISE is ultimately a school in transition, demonstrating genuine pockets of success while still working to achieve consistent, school-wide stability.
