I'm moving this to the Children's Writing forum, where I think it might be more appropriate.

What do you mean 'does better'?
Have you had interest from both or are you asking which one to query? If it's the latter, query both!

Can you clarify what you mean by "scores better"?
RIC Publications appears to only do workbooks and textbooks, and they seem to require that their writers -- who work on assigned jobs -- be teachers. Become an Author
Harcourt, on the other hand, is a huge company with a very large catalog -- and according to their Submission Guidelines, they don't accept unsolicited queries. They prefer you to have an agent submit your work.
These are two very different types of publishing houses with very different needs. I'd recommend reviewing the guidelines for both, and seeing which one (if either) fits your manuscript best.

Check out Jacket Flap (jacketflap.com), they have an extensive directory of children's book publishers, along with interesting details as top 50 books they've published, etc.
