My grandson goes to this school & Ioves it. He went from failing in Florida to loving school here in Oakland. I have been there for several meetings & have NEVER seen a school that cares so much about their students. The teachers go out of their way to help the students & make sure they have what they need to enter a good university. I love Arise.

Not a good school they don't respect you and don't listen to parents. Don't send your students here worst school ever.

They don't have all the tools and supplies the students need.

ARISE has rigorous standards which prepare first generation and low income students to master learning objectives so that they are prepared to be agents of change in society.

ARISE has grown in the last 10 years. The teachers and staff are committed to improving the lives of the students and the community. Grade inflation used to be a problem and that is being dealt with. Overall, the students feel safe and a student usually has at least one adult who knows him or her. There is no physical education program but all 9th graders take art. College courses, proficiency presentations, immersion experiences, service learning, student activities and advisory curriculum is required.

Some fine work done by staff is undermined by a culture of amateurism at management level. There is no coherent overall vision for education or behavior here; the closest they come is a pride in some aspects of community more suited to a youth club than a high school. One example of this is that the school regularly closes at short notice to allow the students to attend impromptu demonstrations instead of classes.
