RISE KOHYANG HIGH SCHOOL

Rise Kohyang High is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 172 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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 9 teachers, Rise Kohyang High has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.

Rise Kohyang High School (RKHS), located in the Westlake/Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles, is a public charter school operated by the Bright Star Schools network. Serving a predominantly underserved community, the school is built on the mission of providing a rigorous, college-preparatory education that focuses on both academic excellence and the development of the "whole child." Its curriculum is designed to ensure that students are not only prepared for the demands of university-level work but are also equipped with the social-emotional skills necessary to navigate life beyond the classroom.

The school is well-regarded for its emphasis on small class sizes, personalized support, and a tight-knit community culture. By integrating comprehensive academic intervention with enrichment programs and holistic support services, Rise Kohyang aims to break the cycle of educational inequity. The school places a high priority on post-secondary success, offering students robust counseling and guidance to help them navigate the college application process and achieve long-term professional success in their chosen fields.
