We host home basketball and volleyball games in our regulation gymnasium. RISE offers a band program, afterschool clubs, and student leadership opportunities.
SUCCESS Tomorrow
Graduating ready for what's next
At Jefferson RISE, graduation is the goal for every scholar. For four straight years, our four-year graduation rate has been higher than both the Louisiana and Jefferson Parish averages. The Class of 2025 graduated at 93.2%, which is 8 points above the state and 16 points above the parish.
These results come from strong relationships, high expectations, and a team that knows every scholar by name. Whether a RISE graduate heads to college, a career, the military, or their own business, they leave prepared for the path they choose.
