My name's Austin. I have attended Rice from Kindergarten to the 8th grade. As an "Alumni" of Rice, I think it would be wise to read this review. First, let's start off on a good note. I liked how the school encouraged us to think of our "clusters" (our entire grade) as our own family and tried to get the students to become close to each other. Also, I am satisfied with the Fine Art programs that the school offers. I had a great time in Ms. Gilmore's Art class during my middle school years and feel like I have learned a great amount of information about basic art concepts. Now for the low note. I remember during my 5th grade year at Rice, fights were a daily occurrence and graffiti was written so badly on the walls that the administration put out a reward for finding out who did it. I also recall a time whenever the transformer in front of our classroom blew up and debris flew towards the window. Close Quote
