RISE is a great opportunity for students to show what they have learned.  It allows teachers to gauge the high-levels of learning by understanding the knowledge students have gained.  Students learn life skills where they can work under pressure, accomplish a goal, and acquire essential test-taking skills. –Science 7 teachers

It is essential for students to take the RISE test so as Math 6 teachers we can adequately measure a student’s growth and learning, as well as correctly place students in future math classes.  The RISE results also help us teachers to reflect on “best practices” teaching strategies by knowing where students have succeeded or struggled.–Math 6 Teachers

We’re excited to be approaching the end of the school year and, with our end-of-year testing, the chance for our students to measure their amazing progress on the RISE test!  Every year, we are delighted to see the growth the tests demonstrate, students who take the tests are even more excited to see their progress.   –Language Arts 7 Teachers
