Summary

Rise Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 301 students in grades PK-8 in Lubbock, Texas. The school is part of the Rise Academy District, which is ranked 45th out of 961 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rise Academy consistently ranks among the top Texas elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 185 out of 4,286 schools in 2015-2016 to 910 out of 4,651 schools in 2024-2025. The school's STAAR test scores significantly outperform the state averages across multiple grade levels and subjects, with 82.61% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 52.02%. Rise Academy's performance is particularly strong for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and low socioeconomic status students, where the school ranks in the top 5% and top 3% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. Additionally, the school has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for the past several school years, which is significantly lower than the state average.

While Rise Academy outperforms the nearby Lubbock Independent School District (ISD) schools in academic metrics, the nearby charter school, Betty M. Condra School for Education Innovation, struggles significantly, ranking in the bottom 2% of Texas elementary schools. Rise Academy's ability to achieve high academic outcomes with lower per-student spending compared to the nearby district schools is an interesting finding that warrants further investigation into the school's efficient resource allocation and instructional practices.
