About RISE UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY

Rise University Preparatory is an independent Christian middle and high school serving the Bayview–Hunters Point community of San Francisco. The school emphasizes whole‑student formation—academic rigor paired with character and spiritual formation—and reserves the majority of seats for first‑generation college‑bound, low‑income, and neighborhood scholars.

Rise operates a low student‑to‑faculty ratio and a college‑focused curriculum with the stated goal that 100% of its scholars gain admission to four‑year universities. In recent years the organization has grown its programs, published annual reports describing student outcomes, and run regular admissions and community events.

Notable achievements

Inaugural graduating class: 100% college admission

The school's inaugural senior cohort (Class of 2024) graduated with 18/18 seniors and reported 100% admission to four‑year universities, demonstrating the organization's college‑readiness focus.

Program expansion: new high‑school cohort

Rise welcomed a new 9th‑grade class as part of recent growth efforts and has outlined steps to (re)start middle‑school programming to strengthen its K–12 pipeline and better serve neighborhood scholars.

Major philanthropic support in FY2024

In the fiscal year ending June 2024 the organization reported substantial philanthropic support (over $1.4M in contributions), which the school used to subsidize tuition, expand student services, and hire additional staff.
