Rice School (La Escuela Rice) is a K-8 magnet school located in the Houston Independent School District (HISD). It is widely recognized for its unique educational model, which emphasizes a continuous, multi-year learning environment. As a magnet school, it attracts students from across the district by offering specialized programming, often focused on rigorous academics and a multicultural curriculum that encourages students to develop a strong foundation in both core subjects and global perspectives.

The school is noted for its "looping" structure, where students frequently remain with the same cohort and sometimes the same teachers for multiple years. This approach is designed to foster deeper relationships between students and faculty, creating a stable, supportive community that helps students transition smoothly from early childhood through the middle school years. By focusing on long-term student development, Rice School aims to prepare its diverse student body for the challenges of high school and beyond while maintaining a strong sense of school spirit and academic excellence.
