St Rita School

Good school. Would attend. They seem to actually care.

The special education department could use significant improvement in promoting success for its students. There are still problematic behaviors that are being overlooked. Students who tend to escape or disengage are not being properly addressed, as they are placed in a section of the school that doesn't allow for their behaviors to be corrected. Consequently, when these students leave school, they continue to exhibit behaviors like running away. Many of them are merely receiving supervision rather than engaging in meaningful learning or developing independent skills, which complicates their transition into adulthood. My child’s experience was not positive; they were not provided with chances to learn from their mistakes. The staff often took over tasks, preventing any behavioral corrections because the children were never allowed the opportunity to struggle or fail. This lack of independence is concerning.

The personalized approach to education truly sets this school apart. From Pre-K to 8th grade, children are recognized as unique individuals, with teachers tailoring instruction to their preferences and needs. The dedicated staff, including teachers and administrators, treat students as if they were their own, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment. Communication with parents is excellent, keeping us well-informed, and they are always accessible when needed. I highly recommend Rochester Christian School for its commitment to high-quality education and a caring community.
