Strive Prep - Rise

STRIVE Prep - RISE develops young adults to become critical thinking lifelong learners ready to solve 21st century problems. We empower our scholars to be social justice focused community members who are compassionate and responsible. We prepare scholars to fight for social justice both now and in the future. We have tangible opportunities that prepare our scholars for college in the verbal assessments we run each quarter to prepare scholars to talk through ideas, use evidence, and evaluate their own ideas. This is needed for both college and career readiness. We prepare scholars to be successful in college in many ways, including a strong Speech and Debate program that is nationally ranked. We assume the best, we support through tough times, and we support your scholar taking a lead on and off campus.

STRIVE Pep Rise is a great school that steers students to a successful future. Students are encouraged to voice and develop their own ideas academically.

As a parent, you always want your child to push past their limits to realize, they can do anything they set their minds to and with the help of the teachers at Rise, they help us parents with that too. My daughter is now a sophomore and has excelled in all aspects, being in Speech and Debate, where the teacher always kept pushing her to try new things, has helped her be more confident when she speaks and expressing herself better and more. The entire faculty is so supportive of the students. Like any schools, there are highs and lows but my experience with my daughter has been a great experience especially during these COVID times. The teachers give extra study hall time to help students when they are not able to understand or need to do make up work. They are available to help when possible and work to make sure they stay on top of their work. I love the fact that Rise focuses on pushing every student to be somebody and never doubt themselves, they are wanting every student to achieve the best.

This school has been growing over the last 4 years. This is the first year seniors will graduate!

I would say this school is a healthy and a social justice school.
