RISE UP ACADEMY AT EGGLESTON

Rise Up Academy at Eggleston is a Title I public high school that is part of the South Bend Community School Corp school district, located in South Bend, IN with about 168 students offering grade levels from 11th 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 15 teachers, Rise Up Academy at Eggleston has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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 Up Academy, located at the historic Eggleston site in South Bend, Indiana, operates as an alternative educational program within the South Bend Community School Corporation. Designed primarily for students who have faced challenges in traditional high school settings, the academy focuses on credit recovery, accelerated learning, and personalized support. By offering a smaller, more focused environment, the school aims to help students who have fallen behind academically get back on track toward graduation through a curriculum tailored to individual needs and pacing.

Beyond academics, Rise Up Academy emphasizes social-emotional growth and building strong, supportive relationships between staff and students. The school recognizes that barriers to education often exist outside the classroom, so it provides a structured atmosphere that prioritizes mentorship and behavioral accountability. By fostering a sense of community and providing targeted intervention, the academy serves as a vital pathway for students who require a non-traditional route to earning their high school diploma and preparing for post-secondary success.
