St Cecilia Catholic School

I’m writing this review to share my concerns regarding the significant changes at this school over the years. While the school once provided a strong environment under the leadership of Principal Alyssa Peraza, the quality of the experience has declined noticeably since her departure.Following that transition, there have been sweeping changes to the administration and overall school culture that have negatively impacted the student experience. Communication and management are no longer at the standard they once were. Based on these developments, I cannot currently recommend this school to other families.I plan to provide a more detailed account of my specific experiences here in the near future, but for now, I would advise parents to research the current administration thoroughly before enrolling their children.

I was surprised to read a few of the negative reviews recently, but I know everyone’s experience is different. I’ve had two children at this school since 2022, and a third about to join. We are so happy to have found Rosemont! My kids are in the dual-language program. They love their teachers and I’ve never had them come home from a school day upset. They are excited to tell me about topics they are covering in school, and the things they do with their friends. I’ve found the community involvement is uniquely strong— in addition to the highly active PTA there is a robust dad’s club affiliated with the school that goes on quarterly camping trips with the kids, does fundraisers, and sponsors events. At the end of the year there is a week during which local streets close to encourage student biking, ending with a longer group bike ride and celebration in downtown Bishop Arts. The school also offers many extracurricular offerings including a running club, Pom team, chess, dance, and more. Both our children were attending a great private school in our old city, and while the resources are obviously somewhat less, we’ve had a really nice experience and are very happy at Rosemont.
