My overall experience with Memphis RISE Academy was an extraordinary experience since I basically saw the school grow as I was growing since it started in a tailor type of building. It also helped me achieve my goal of entering into my dream college. Even though it has its ups and downs, Memphis RISE Academy still at the end of the day helped me improve and helped me get ready for my life after high school.
