Memphis Rise Academy is a public charter middle and high school located just on the edge of Bartlett, Tennessee. Each year, the schools enroll approximately 760 students in Grades 6-12 from the northeast Memphis communities.
The mission of the Academy is to provide students with an excellent education and to encourage them to pursue ambitious goals so that they succeed in college. Students who want to expand their knowledge or get that extra boost before college can take advantage of the Student Resource Hub, where there’s a wide range of options to get help with scholarship information or elective courses. There’s even the Homework PowerHour, a quiet place where students can get their homework done, or even get an extra hand with their assignments.
There are several clubs and organizations offered at the Memphis Rise Academy, including Bytes & Bots, where students can learn to code and create their own video games. A few others are the National Honor Society, Philosophy Club, and the Medical Explorers of Tomorrow.
