GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I had the privilege of attending Rice Creek from Kindergarten to Fifth grade. Rice Creek is an amazing school. The principal knows every student by their first name. I felt like part of a family while there. The teachers always made learning fun. The word "can't" was not an option. The only thing that I wish I could change at Rice Creek is their awning in front of the school. It's not long enough to keep the children dry on rainy days.
