Summary

Alvin V Anderson Rise Academy is a small high school in Tyler, TX, serving 83 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Tyler Independent School District (Isd).

This school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I (0%) and English I (8.3%) far below state averages. While the school boasts an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.7:1—roughly half that of nearby Tyler Legacy High School (16.1:1)—this has not translated into strong academic outcomes. In fact, Tyler High School, which serves a similarly high-poverty population but with a much larger enrollment, achieves significantly better results, such as 42.9% proficiency in Algebra I compared to Rise Academy's 0%. The school's overall state ranking has declined to the 5th percentile, and its graduation rate dropped to 75.6% in 2020-2021, though it recovered to 93.9% in 2023-2024.

One intriguing bright spot is the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 98th percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a dramatic improvement from previous years. This success stands in stark contrast to the school's overall performance and is worth investigating further. Additionally, U.S. History is consistently the school's strongest subject, with proficiency rates (36-50%) higher than in math and English. Notably, the high-performing Tyler Independent School District (Isd) Early College High School, located just 0.53 miles away, serves a similar high-needs population but achieves near-perfect test scores and a 100% graduation rate, demonstrating that success is possible with the right approach.
