Rise Network
The RISE Network is a community built by educators for educators.
RISE partners with educators across Connecticut who are deeply committed to improving educational outcomes for low-income and underrepresented high school students. RISE brings together teachers, counselors, and administrators working in different communities to help ensure that every high school student graduates college and career ready.
Improvement Networks
As a network, we collaborate across schools and districts to advance shared goals and scale results.
RISE partners are committed to working together across districts to proactively identify ways to strengthen school systems and practices, leading to better student outcomes. Through results-driven collaboration with and across RISE high schools, we form authentic learning partnerships to review data, share promising practices, pilot new ideas and programs, and solve challenges.

Pursuing the RISE by 5 Focus Areas
RISE high schools work across five focus areas to promote high school and postsecondary success. The RISE by 5 focus areas support innovation and improvement at the network, school, educator team, individual educator, and student levels. Importantly, each RISE high school pursues the RISE by 5 framework in unique ways to reflect local context and priorities, and variation across schools supports continued learning as a network community.
