Our Mission
To ensure all RISE high school students graduate with a plan and the skills and confidence to achieve college and career success. We partner with Connecticut public high schools to lead statewide networks where school communities work together to use data to learn and improve.
About RISEWhy We Collaborate
Connecticut faces one of the nation’s largest opportunity gaps. While the vast majority of students and their families aspire to a college degree, far too few students achieve their dreams of a higher education.
