Student-Centered Learning
We use a variety of rigorous instructional activities and approaches that are centered on where students are at and focused on growth.
Innovation
Beyond technology, our staff are encouraged to try new ideas and techniques to best engage students. When using technology, it isn’t about the device, but about how it can allow students to dive deeper into learning.
AT A GLANCE
Rice Lake Elementary is a community that teachers the traits of respect, responsibility, cooperation and perseverance to create a safe and positive culture.

Rice Lake Elementary served 666 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Opened in 1992
Centennial School District purchased the 55-acre Rice Lake Elementary School site from Harold Lehman and Irene and Hugo Jorgenson in 1991. Rice Lake School was opened in the fall of 1992.
High Open Enrollment Rate
Over 1,000 students open enroll in the district annually.
Community Involvement
Our parents and the community are vital components to the success of our school. From volunteering throughout the building, to attending one of the many community events hosted by the school, our goal and focus is opening our doors and connecting with our community.
Student Leadership
Our students take on leadership roles throughout the building that are focused on making Rice Lake Elementary a safe and welcoming place for all students. The focus is on creating events where all students are able to help give back to the community.
