Welcome to The Rice School

  • Welcome to The Rice School K-8 STEM Magnet School

     

    The Rice School K-8 STEM Magnet School, which focuses on science, technology, engineering and math.  Students have the opportunity for in-depth, process-oriented studies of STEM disciplines in conjunction with a strong academic program.  These studies develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills through relevant and meaningful STEM explorations. Student-centered learning emphasizes “hands-on” activities with real world applications.

     

    Our middle school is a relatively small one (approximately 480 students) that shares a campus with our elementary school of approximately 680 students. All of our students are admitted on a magnet transfer; therefore, we have no zoned attendance. 

     

    Mirroring the diverse population of Houston, over ninety percent of our students are either Hispanic (48%) or African American (47%). We have approximately 68% of our students who are economically disadvantaged. Special education students are comprised of about 6% of our students, while English language learners account for 17%. Parents, students, teachers and staff agree that The Rice School/La Escuela Rice offers a unique opportunity to grow in a community of diverse STEM-focused learners.
