RICE CHILDRENS CENTER
Rice Childrens Center is a public middle school that is part of the Evanston CCSD 65 school district, located in Evanston, IL with about 36 students offering grade levels from 2nd Grade to 8th Grade. With about 9 teachers, Rice Childrens Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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.
The Rice Children’s Center, located at 1101 Washington St in Evanston, Illinois, is a specialized residential and therapeutic facility managed by the Rice Child and Family Center (a division of The Children’s Village). The program is designed to support children and adolescents, typically ranging from ages 6 to 14, who are struggling with significant emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. By providing a structured, residential environment, the center aims to offer a safe haven for youth who require more intensive care than traditional outpatient services or foster care settings can provide.
The center’s approach is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, focusing on stabilization and the development of essential life skills. Their multidisciplinary team—which includes clinicians, residential staff, and educational specialists—works collaboratively to create individualized treatment plans that address each child's specific psychological and social needs. Through a combination of therapeutic interventions, daily routine building, and educational support, the Rice Children’s Center strives to help children achieve emotional regulation and successfully transition back into their families, schools, and local communities.
