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.

We LOVED Rice Elementary!! Both of my children attended K-5 and were very happy there. My children were well-taught and eased into middle school. The Administration, staff and faculty are all great. The school is newer, safe and located in a good area of town. I highly recommend getting involved in their PTA and showing your child you value the school they attend and making sure they get a good education.
