I have been extremely happy with the elementary level through middle school. I am pleased to say that each year the teachers challenge the children more and more. The guided reading program in the early years (K-2) are wonderful as well as the writing and book reports and projects going on in the 4-5th
... Read more grade years. The HSA is always active in the school and creates fun and interesting things for the families and staff to attend. (Santa's Breakfast, Easter Egg Hunt, Wine Tasting Evening and Golf Outings!) The student council does many things for the community esp. this week raising money for St. Rita's by having a soup dinner. The middle school program far exceeds the local public schools expectations in Mathematics. You can visibly see the drive and energy the teachers and students have together to make St. Rose such a special place. Read less

We were fortunate enough to have our daughter attend St. Rose of Lima for 6 years. We recently relocated to a county in Northern Virginia that is rated in the top 10% of schools in the Nation. Our daughter's teacher informed us that she is right where she should be with academics and has blended in

I strongly disagree with the previous review. The information the parent is working with is old and outdated. The principal is very flexible and has made great strides in improving the middle school program. She has hired a highly qualified math and science teacher who provides many hands on approaches

As a parent with a student in the 7th grade, I can tell you that he is learning about verbs and constructing a proper Spanish sentence. The reading teacher is outstanding. Before one calls another person controlling, they should step back and watch the evolving changes. Whatever decisions that have been made have been done so for the betterment of the school and the students who attend. I have 2 children attending this school and I highly recommend it. Read less

Very good preK to 5th grade. Once the students reach the middle school years, the school is sorely lacking. The science program does not include any sort of hands on lab experience. Foreign language is limited to Spanish and it is a very limited instruction basically colors, numbers, very basic spoken
