Ardscoil Rís (meaning Rice's High School) is a boys' secondary school on Griffith Avenue, Dublin, Ireland. 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. The school caters for approximately 530 students every year. Ardscoil Rís is often noted for its academic achievements. In 2005 the school sent more students to Dublin City University than any other boy's school on Dublin's Northside . 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.() In 2008 the school sent 28 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.() As a consequence the school is vastly oversubscribed with more than 200 students applying for just 100 places for the academic year 2009/10. 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. ==History and expansion== Ard Scoil Ris originated in the O'Brien Institute, which functioned as a private school, in 1969.
