      <Desc>See Schedule OThe Rise School provides family-centered services designed to meet the individualized needs of all children and families. The School's goal is to provide a blend of educational and therapy services within the context of a developmentally appropriate curriculum and to prepare children for their next educational environment. The 2022-23 school year was a very successful one for The Rise School of Houston. Our full capacity of 96 students with and without disabilities, ages six months to six years, learned and played together in inclusive classrooms and received therapeutic services in a "push-in" model. Of these students, 67% have a disability and 33% are typically-developing peers. Thanks to the school's vigorous scholarship program (73% of students receive discounted tuition), our student body remained diverse: 8% Asian, 19% African-American, 21% Hispanic and 52% White. The School has an affiliation agreement with Texas Children's Hospital to provide a coordinated program to meet the needs of its students. Under the affiliation agreement, Texas Children's Hospital provides utilities, maintenance, housekeeping, security, therapists, and consultation related to the operation of the School without charge.</Desc>
