Summary

Rice Intermediate/Middle School is a public middle school serving 302 students in grades 5-8 in the Rice Independent School District in Rice, Texas, located approximately 18-20 miles from several nearby middle schools in surrounding districts.

Over the past 10 years, Rice Intermediate/Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, typically between 900-1450 out of around 2,000-2,400 schools, and has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 5 years, indicating it is performing below average compared to other Texas middle schools. The school's strengths seem to be in supporting its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who perform better relative to their peers statewide. However, it struggles to support its special education and at-risk student populations, whose performance ranks in the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools.

While the school's overall test scores are below average, its 5th and 8th grade math scores are actually above the state average, suggesting potential bright spots in the curriculum and instruction. Compared to the nearby middle schools, Scurry-Rosser Middle and Palmer Middle generally perform better, while Blooming Grove JH, Corsicana Middle, and Ennis JH perform worse. Improving performance across all student subgroups, particularly in reading and science, should be a key focus area for the school and Rice Independent School District.
