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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
