Students living near Rice are not zoned to Rice, as Rice is an all-magnet school. Individuals living near Rice are zoned to either Twain or Roberts elementary schools and Pershing Middle School.

The Rice School is located east of the Braeswood Place neighborhood. It is across from the City of West University Place Sewage Plant and Animal Pound, which itself is located in the Houston city limits.

[edit] History

The school opened on August 1994. When the Rice School opened, a small section of trees grew in front of the school's main entrance. The trees were removed and a large apartment complex was put in place of the trees.

[edit] School uniforms

Rice requires school uniforms for all of its students [2].

Tops consist of red, white, or navy shirts with the school logo. Trousers, shorts, and skirts must be khaki.
