School Overview

Rice High School serves the small rural community of Altair, out in Colorado County where wide-open farmland defines the landscape and everyone tends to know everyone. Families drawn to tight-knit small-town life will find a school where students don't get lost in the crowd, though academics — particularly in math — present an area where the school is still working to grow. It's the kind of place where community roots run deep, and for families committed to that rural Texas lifestyle, the sense of belonging can be just as meaningful as the classroom experience.
