Ardscoil Rís (meaning Rice's High School) is a boys' secondary school on Griffith Avenue, Dublin, Ireland.The school caters for approximately 530 students every year.
Ardscoil Rís is often noted for its academic achievements. According to the 2015 Central Applications Office (CAO) statistics, 96% of Ardscoil Rís students continued on to third level education (e.g. college or university) in 2015. This was the highest rate for any school in Dublin 9 and its surrounding areas. In 2015 the school sent 32 pupils to DCU, more than any other school in the state bar the Institute of Education. As a percentage of students taking the Leaving Certificate the figure is the highest for any school in the state. In 2005 and following years,as a percentage of students taking the Leaving Certificate exam, the school topped the list of students provided to DCU. More than two thirds of all Leaving Certificate students went on to third level education that year. As a consequence the school is vastly oversubscribed with more than 200 students applying for just 100 places nearly every year.
Ardscoil Rís started out in the O'Brien Institute, which functioned as a private school, in 1969. Under the principalship of Br. Carberry, the new school incorporated the existing second-level students from the old school and day pupils from the surrounding area. The school was under the trusteeship of the Christian Brothers. However, they withdrew from Education in Ireland in September 2006 and the school passed into the trusteeship of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust upon the Brothers' withdrawal.
Ardscoil Ris originated in the O'Brien Institute, which functioned as a private school, in 1969. The new school incorporated the existing second-level students from the old school and day pupils from the surrounding area. Old dormitories were converted into classrooms and an old reception room became the staff room.
