I am Pro-Rise Up Academy! This school has always provided quality education to its student body. AR reading, I-Ready, and many other programs that are in the public schools. I appreciate the teachers and the curriculum they teach empowers 34-year-old children to read on an elementary level. This is amazing, to say the least. The students also attend educational and recreational trips during the summer sessions. My family was truly blessed to have Dr. Stoot and faculty to help my grandson academically and personally. Thank you, Rise Up Academy, you stand alone in excellence. I encourage families to visit the school and see this for themselves.
