RISE Academy

The Boone County Alternative Center, located in Florence, Kentucky, serves as a specialized educational facility designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment. Functioning as a key component of the Boone County School District, the center focuses on providing a structured setting that balances academic instruction with behavioral and emotional support. Its primary mission is to help students overcome barriers to success, re-engage with their education, and eventually transition back to their home high schools with the tools necessary to graduate.

The curriculum and programming at the center are tailored to meet the diverse needs of students who require a more individualized approach than what is typically offered in a standard classroom. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering close relationships between students and staff, the school creates a focused atmosphere conducive to credit recovery and personal growth. Ultimately, the Boone County Alternative Center plays a vital role in the district’s efforts to ensure that all students, regardless of the challenges they face, have access to a path toward academic completion and future career readiness.
