How to Apply

 

St. Rose Catholic School has space for 360 students with forty places in each class, kindergarten through 8th grade. Although our class size is large, special care is taken so that each child’s needs are met. There are teacher assistants in grades K through 6, and we have a one-to-twenty teacher-student ratio for math instruction.

Our parents are very supportive of their children’s education. For these reasons we are able to offer a quality Catholic education while remaining affordable to families.

The principal conducts school tours every first Wednesday at 9:00 AM, or by appointment. Please call the school to arrange to attend.

Application forms and tuition schedules are available online, in the school office, or can be mailed. The kindergarten application process begins December each year. Applications for other grades are accepted at any time.

New and Transfer Students

Students who enter St. Rose at kindergarten level participate in a small group screening process designed to assess their readiness for school. Those entering at other grade levels are assessed in a variety of ways. Previous report cards and standardized test scores are taken into consideration, as well as individual assessments by teachers. Once it has been determined that there is space, the student may be invited to participate on all or part of a school day. The St. Rose Catholic School community will do everything possible to help students feel comfortable in their new school. Teachers and staff work diligently to ensure each child’s success. However, new students enter on a probationary status, which takes into account the following:

  • Student’s ability to be successful academically, socially, and emotionally
  • Good attendance and punctuality
  • Parent participation and support
  • Parents are current with financial obligations to the school.
  • Parents have disclosed all information beneficial to their child’s success at St Rose.
