Riceville School is a great school. I am proud to be a parent of Riceville School.

As our principal is fond of saying,'Every child, every chance, every day.' This has become our motto, and the meaning behind it is the reason for our success.

I had a bad experience with my daughter starting school a few years ago, but since the replacement of the principle and my son starting there, his teacher Ms. Brooks worked with my son very well. There were other issues with security and minor bullying, the teachers all sit in the shade on benches while the students run wild during recess, but things have come very far since my daughter began school there.

About the tests
