If I could give this Adult High School less than one star, I would. The first time I went in the morning, no one was there. I knocked on the door and no one was answering after waiting for about a few minutes. It is honestly like no one works there. I was there helping my friend sign her son up for the HiSet because the school he is zoned at is not doing him any favors. The second time I went again (which, thankfully, was the last time), I had to wait AGAIN to be helped. It is baffling to me how our tax dollars are at work with the lack of customer service this school has, beginning with their secretary. I will not recommend this place to anyone. You are probably better off at the Northern Nevada Literacy Council which is where went after and are even open EARLIER!

I dropped out of school in the 9th grade and at 21 I went back to school I wanted the education not a GED. This was a great place to land. I remember the teachers being so patient with me as I was functionally illiterate. I graduated in 1994 and have been a life long learner since then. Thank you is not enough for the gift I received. Its never to late.

I love this school!! The entire staff is very kind, encouraging, helpful and patient. They are literally the pot of gold it’s not one life situation they won’t and can’t work around they help you with anything!! they will let you know they are here for you. You will feel very welcome after the first day maybe even after orientation, I can’t stress this enough about how amazing this school is I love it I love it I love it and because of them I’m graduating!!! I would recommend this school to ANYBODY! We all are family haven’t seen, heard or had one rude comment or person everybody is amazing.

Rise Academy gave me the opportunity to complete my high school diploma, and for that I am grateful for what this establishment and all of their instructors, and staff have provided. I HONESTLY believe that the instructors and counselors care a great deal about the students wanting to complete their education. Respect the school, respect yourself, show up to class and do the work, and youll do just fine. I will be graduating this summer at the age of 40. So, dont give up, its never too late!

This school could teach a thing or two to Washoe County School DistrictIn the matter of 4 months I learned a lot more then a full semester in Public School.Although my prior school had amazing teachers a lot of new teachers came into play, to say the least a lot of children were left behind.At Rise i felt like an adult but still had that hand on my shoulder when I started falling behind.Rise isnt just a school to finish up, it shows you in a very corporate and rigid world there is still hope. To say the least I felt like an actual human being to this institution.

When I was here I experienced more bad then good. I had a teacher her name was Ms.Itani in summer she is a really bad teacher. She did not teach very well she did not grade my final even though I did it. She gave me the grade she wanted to give me. I did all my work and she said that I had things missing. I had gone every day to school and she said I was missing days.I recommend no one here because she is a really bad teacher.

My EXPERIENCE at rise academy was AMAZING!! I do truly recommend this school for people that need their high school diploma or that want to get their GED done this school has help me so much in the last few months on getting my diploma it has been an amazing journey and I am super proud of myself and the teachers who have taught me and helped me get my diploma they are super helpful they care so much about you and your education and they are willing to help you as much as they can to get you where you want to be they helped me learn things I never even learned before out of these months that I’ve been at RISE I am blown I feel smarter I feel educated and most importantly I feel great about myself I feel happy that I did this. these teachers are amazing and I truly truly recommend this school and of course always Ask your teachers For help as much is you need don’t be afraid to feel dumb because you’re not dumb if you don’t know it’s because no one ever taught you and it’s OK To ask Questions. I had an amazing experience and I hope you do too and I truly recommend This school for people who want to get their diploma or GED try it for yourself get started here !!!!

I got my HiSET through RISE and the people here were more than helpful in my pursuit of my HiSET and encouraged me all the way! Awesome people! Awesome place!

If you are looking to get back into school for your GED, or you high school diploma this is the school to go to! I cant explain how thrilled I am to be a part of this school! I have gained so much more self confidence from not just the school its self but all the teachers and staff.

Extremely mad I went to take my hiset test today and I went to go in to take my test and this old lady locked me out she could of let me in it was 9:00 on the dot but she had a power trip and wouldnt let me in ....now it makes it that much harder to get my high school equivalency and if I didnt want it more it could of discouraged me to get it at all....these people are supposed to be helping yet they dont care about the students and are only there because its there job.......

Not impressed at all so far. 2 weeks trying to get my damn schedule only to receive bs excuse about the counselors being out or leaving a voice mail knowing i wont receive a call back.. i can clearly understand why people before me gave up if this is what they dealt with

They really help you out to move forward and archive your goals.

Came back twice. Loving it.
