For the price, you would expect the teachers and staff to be the best in the state...this is NOT so. The teachers are unfriendly and the staff (excluding Danny, who answers the phone) is appalling. If you are interested in sending your child to a that emphasizes material values over moral, than this is the school for you.
I went to school here from k-8; I thought it was good...I was well prepared for high School...now I am a Freshman Engineering Student at Stevens Institute of Technology
St Rose is an excellent school. Ive been going here for many years and it is a great expirience. I have made many friends and it is a very welcoming enviorment. It not only teaches you academics and religion but it teaches you about life and leadership.
i was in this school, and it was the best school that i had ever been. I'ts to bad that this school isn't a high school too, becuse if it was, this would be my first choise. I left Saint Rose because i had to move, i went to europe, and here in europe, i never had an education like at saint Rose. At saint rose, the teachers were very calm and nice, and when you didn't understand something, they would be there to help you out. If you didn't know or understand something, they wouldn't humiliate you in front of the whole class, instead, they would expln it to everyone again. The library had a bigger selection in books than any other school that i have attended. All students (well, the ones that i got to know) were nice and not snobby at all. Saint Rose is a great school.
This is an amazing school that offers the 'full' range of educational opportunities. The students are offered many sports, enrichment and volunteer opportunities. The faculty takes an overall interest in each student and the overall school community. The HSA is very involved in fundraising so that many cultural events and extras are provided to the students.
This school offers a wide range of educational opportunities. Not just great academics, but many educational extracurricular activites as well.
Four of my five children attend St. Rose. It provides an excellent environment with strong Catholic foundation. 45%+ Students score in the 89th percentile on the Terranova tests.
