context_page_description: Rufus Cage Elementary School is an elementary school in Eastwood, a neighborhood in the East End district of Houston, Texas. It is a part of the Houston Independent School District. It serves a section of Eastwood. Founded as the Kirby School in 1902, it transitioned from a county school to a municipal school. The school, renamed after the death of the benefactor who donated land for the school, occupied a building dedicated in 1910 until its current campus opened in 1983, with the exception of the period 1914-1925, when the building was used as an apartment complex. The 1910 building is now a City of Houston historic landmark and is owned by the city government.
context_section_description: By 2005 the school implemented "Reading Buddies", a program in which students of higher grade levels read books to students of lower grade levels. This was implemented to allow students of different education levels and ages to interact with one another.
