As a Rice graduate, I firmly believe my time at Rice built a wonderful foundation for my career, my personal relationships and my faith. Rice provided a great education, athletic/club team opportunities, lifelong freindships and wonderful memories. Proud to be a Crusader and would recommend it to any young man who is considering a private school option.

My son is a freshman. He had a terrible experience at a Catholic grade school in the suburbs, so I was a bit worried. He is SO happy it makes me cry tears of joy. Brother Rice is making him love school again. He is very active in Marching Band, competitive band, theatre, and the fishing team. He also is trying peer ministry. The change I have seen in him is quite amazing. I am grateful to Brother Rice for letting my child spread his wings and fly; I can't wait to see what the future holds!!

My son attended Brother Rice and graduated in 2014. There were several fights and drug use was high during his senior year. The school invited a guess speaker who used the "N" word throughout his speech. When I called to complain, I was told that he didn't mean anything by it, he was trying to prove a point. The point is that this school has potential, but has yet to live up to it.

I graduated from Brother Rice in 2009 and I couldn't speak more positively about the institution. Going into HS, I was forced to go there, and I am glad that I was. During my time, I did 4 years of band, track, soccer, NHS, Spanish Club and Croatian Club. To say the least, I was busy. But the quality of the teachers was great. There were many times where I was able to meet with teachers outside of class for help, speak with the administration about policies, and get extra work in with coaches and directors for extra practice. I would highly recommend BR to anyone, of any religion, race, or ethnic background.

Sadly, Brother Rice is still living with the mentality of the "50's. Truthfully we all know that the lack of diversity is pronounced. It's the open secret or the elephant in the room that no one talks about. It will never to a "great" school as long as the emperor has on no clothes. And to think it calls itself a religious institution. The truth will make you free.

i am a former student from this school when it first open. i found it quite rewarding. i suppose it is what you apply yourself too. the math and science courses were awesome at that time. i know almost everything i learned there came in very handy. i was in the peace corp and the army in vietnam. things i learned at brother rice became very useful many,many times..............
