POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – October 14, 2025 – EdRise.io, a leader in AI-powered educational technology, today announced the official launch of its revolutionary AI tutoring platform for all 357 college-bound high school students at DUTCHESS BOCES. This strategic partnership immediately provides students with access to personalized, on-demand academic assistance, marking a significant step in EdRise’s overarching mission to democratize education through cutting-edge artificial intelligence. The platform is designed to offer unparalleled support, ensuring every student has the resources needed to excel academically and prepare for future success.

The academic journey for high school students in Poughkeepsie, especially those aiming for college, is fraught with unique pressures and demands. DUTCHESS BOCES students face the critical tasks of preparing for high-stakes exams like the SAT and ACT, mastering rigorous AP coursework, navigating complex college applications, and consistently maintaining competitive GPAs. Traditional tutoring in Poughkeepsie often comes with a hefty price tag, typically ranging from $50 to $150 per hour, making consistent support financially out of reach for many families. Furthermore, busy family schedules, extracurricular commitments, and the need for immediate homework help during late evening hours often leave students without the timely assistance they desperately need. The diverse learning styles present in any student body also necessitate personalized approaches that one-size-fits-all solutions cannot provide, adding to the pressure to secure strong academic records for college admissions.
