About

Lilian J. Rice Elementary School in Chula Vista serves 592 K-6 students on Fourth Avenue under the Chula Vista Elementary School District, operating as a designated Community School since the Cohort 2 expansion. The Community School framework integrates wraparound family services, extended learning opportunities, and community partnerships into the academic program, and families seeking supplemental math instruction enroll students at Mathnasium in the surrounding Chula Vista area. Twenty-eight credentialed teachers maintain a 21-to-1 ratio while delivering the district's technology-based curriculum alongside Gifted and Talented identification services and English Learner reclassification support. The campus participates in CVESD's district-wide visual and performing arts program, a creative strand that connects to the broader enrichment network including Chula Vista Academy of Music & Dance for after-school performance training. The LEAD after-school enrichment program runs STEM, language, and physical-fitness modules funded by the state's Expanded Learning Opportunities Program, with each module mapped to California Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards benchmarks across the TK-through-sixth-grade span.
