ARISE ACADEMY

Arise Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school with about 485 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, Arise Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Arise Academy is a public charter school located in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. Serving students in the elementary grades, the school operates as part of the Arise Schools network, which emphasizes a culture of high academic expectations, structured classrooms, and a strong focus on literacy and foundational skills. The school is known for its commitment to providing an intensive learning environment designed to prepare students for success in middle school and beyond.

Beyond its academic focus, Arise Academy prioritizes the social and emotional development of its student body through a community-oriented approach. The school works to build strong partnerships with families and emphasizes a "no excuses" philosophy, aiming to close the achievement gap for students in the local community. By integrating data-driven instruction with a supportive school culture, Arise Academy strives to ensure that every student has access to the resources necessary to reach their full potential.
