Schools in Rice ISD · Navarro County

Corsicana anchors Navarro County's public school landscape, though some of the county's stronger performers actually emerge from smaller communities nearby. Spread across seven districts serving 20 ranked schools, the county sits below the top quartile statewide — but Mildred Elementary and Mildred High School, both drawing from the Corsicana area, rank in the upper third of Texas schools, as does Rice Intermediate/Middle School out of the small town of Rice. Families willing to look beyond the county seat will find pockets of relative academic strength, making Navarro worth a closer look rather than a quick pass.
