WOONSOCKET – RISE Prep Mayoral Academy, an “intentionally diverse” college preparatory, public charter school will open with at least 55 kindergartners on Aug. 31, the school announced.

The new school, approved by the R.I. Department of Education on June 9, will serve students and families in Woonsocket, Burrillville and North Smithfield at 1 Social St. downtown. The charter school will grow one grade a year until it reaches Grade 8. The capacity is for 81 students total and enrollment is still being accepted, said Katelyn Silva, chief communications officer for the Providence-based Rhode Island Mayoral Academies.

To date, 41 students have enrolled from Woonsocket, nine from Burrillville and five from North Smithfield. There is a waiting list of 25 Woonsocket students, Silva said.

RISE Prep has signed a multiyear lease on the two lower levels of the Innovation Plaza.
