School Overview

Rice Avenue Middle School sits in the small borough of Girard, a tight-knit Lake Erie community where neighbors still know each other by name and school spirit runs deep. The school punches above its weight academically, with particularly strong math scores that put it well ahead of most Pennsylvania middle schools. Families who value a smaller, community-rooted environment over the hustle of a bigger district will feel right at home here, especially with the natural beauty of Presque Isle and Lake Erie just a short drive away.
