It is anticipated that numbers will return closer to projections in the following years. RISE Charter School plans to open in the fall of 2021 with grades 4-8. The second-year grade 9 will be added. By the third year we will have a better understanding of the community interest in the school and capacity of staff. We plan to add at a minimum grade 10 with the option of adding grades 10-12 all at once if the demand exists. We plan to open with a minimum of 25 students per grade level in year one. This should allow us to be financially viable during the startup year. RISE has decided on a minimum opening target of 25 students per grade level with a maximum capacity of 50 per grade level. Our budget indicates we plan on staffing 7 total teachers the first year. Our intention is to apply for the Federal Charter School Expansion grant that could be used to fund additional staff if needed. Class sizes with only 1 teacher per grade level or content area would be 25. The total student body a full capacity and enrollment if each grade level is filled to the maximum number of students proposed is 450. The table below shows maximum enrollment numbers at each grade level.

By adding all 3 grades at once, staffing will likely be more feasible, and we hope to be able to offer more opportunities with increased student numbers.
