This school offers everything education should be; teaching excellence, athletics, the arts, and leadership opportunities for young women. It has been perfect for our granddaughter.

My daughter was apprehensive when her friends mostly went to a public high school. But two months in, she loves it! We are very pleased with the academics, communication, and leadership. Most importantly, we see an ethical and professional environment which was lacking from her previous school district.

It is truly a wonderful school for girls to study, play sports, be involved in the arts, as well as becoming great young women by the time they graduate. I truly believe they want each and every girl to succeed and become responsible adults. Rosary is an exceptional college prep school. I have not met a parent yet that did not feel that their daughter was not prepared to handle college courses. They are prepared to write papers and have developed excellent study habits. Rosary is the best!!!!!

Rosary provides a quality education to the students. Despite the weak economy, the administration works extra hard to provide financial support to struggling families. Rosary employees work together to provide a top-notch education, despite departmental budget constraints and minimal pay raises. It's all about the girls!

Rosary is amazing. The quality of the public schools I attended prior to Rosary cannot compare to this school, as Rosary provides you with a well-rounded experience and encourages you to dig deep within yourself to realize your potential. Rosary challenged me, encouraged me to work hard and dream big, become a woman of faith, and have confidence in myself. The teachers are amazing, and the sense of community is strong. Yes, Rosary is expensive, but she is worth every penny.

As a former student I can honestly say 'I would not be where I am today without Rosary.' It's true that it wasn't the easiest the school, and they are very strict on their students, but it really is for our own good. Rosary Alumni, have a very high success rate after graduation. After going through this school, college was no problem at all! All in all, I am very glad that I my parents allowed me to further my education and excell the way I have by supporting my decision to attend Rosary. I highly recommend this school for students (or parents of students)that feel their current school doesn't allow them to live up to their full potential.

The homework takes a while, but it is beneficial. The sports teams work hard, but are really good. Basically if you put in the effort then you will get a lot back. It is a good college prep school with a lot of rules. It is hard to not get in trouble at least once while you are there. All of the girls are very nice and supportive.

This school is ok. The principle is very judgmental and punishes for no reason. The school has very strict rules and lots of homework and sets unrealistic standards.

This Catholic, private, all female high school has it all. You get a top-notch education, the sports programs are excellent and the number of extra-curricular activities is endless. All this in an atmosphere of caring teachers who really get to know each and every student. Rosary High School is worth every single penny.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
