RICE HIGH SCHOOL

RICE H S is a Title I public high school that is part of the RICE CISD school district, located in ALTAIR, TX with about 366 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 29 teachers, RICE H S has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Rice High School, located at 1095 Raider Drive in Altair, Texas, serves as the primary secondary education institution for the Rice Consolidated Independent School District. As a rural Texas high school, it acts as a central hub for students from the surrounding communities of Altair, Eagle Lake, and Garwood. The school is dedicated to providing a comprehensive academic experience, offering a range of core curriculum courses alongside elective programs designed to prepare students for both higher education and the workforce.

Reflecting the spirit of its "Raider" mascot, the school emphasizes a sense of community and school pride, often highlighting student achievements in extracurricular activities such as athletics, UIL academics, and career-oriented programs like FFA. By maintaining a focus on student growth and community involvement, Rice High School strives to uphold the district’s mission of fostering an environment where students can succeed in a supportive, local setting.
