RISING LEADERS ACADEMY is a Title I public charter school that is part of the BAY school district, located in PANAMA CITY, FL with about 187 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten 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.
