Rice Intermediate/middle School

Rice Intermediate/Middle School sits in the small, tight-knit community of Rice, Texas, a rural Navarro County town where neighbors know each other and school spirit runs deep. The school punches above its weight academically, with particularly strong science scores that stand out even by statewide standards — a great sign for families who want their kids challenged in STEM subjects. It's the kind of place that appeals to families who value a close community feel over a big-district experience, where students aren't just a number and teachers tend to know kids by name.
