One of the better schools in Jefferson parish. We're 6th-12th idk why niche says we only do middle school. Only bad thing about RISE is that our building is a bit out of shape. New renovations are being made to the building though. The teachers are great and it's very diverse. This is definitely a great option for kids who don't get accepted to local charter schools. This is the only charter school nearby I know of that doesn't require a test to enter.
Jefferson rise has a number of extreme issues that often go unaddressed. The teachers are often unqualified for the subjects they teach, so the teaching they do is not sufficient for their students. They did not offer high school courses to middle school students who are ahead, which causes them to be behind most other students if they choose to leave the school. And at one point, several years ago, i recall them serving a lunch of chicken which had gone bad, and gave several students food poisoning, and all classes had to be cancelled that day. This severe incompetence is commonplace at Jefferson Rise, and you should not allow your children to go here, most average schools, and even the dangerous ones, are better off because at least your child won't be doing significantly worse due to the incompetence of the staff.
Kathryn Willgus is an “educator”at this school and has some very radical views. She Attacks those on social media that have a view that differs from hers and calls them racists.I have personally seen posts of her crucifying a poor man on his work site for a post that she evidently couldn’t comprehend, even after it was explained. I would not recommend sending my child to this school with her there.
