It was a great place to get an education but there could be better school life. The administration could use some changes I'm how they do things.

Academic wise the school is great and prepares you for college. The school is very small and the the majority of the teachers are great but not all are very helpful.

Rosary High School was a great overall experience. I loved the small environment and how easy it was to get involved. I was able to play all the sports I wanted, and no one was cut from any of the teams. In these sports I made my best friends. The teachers were also so helpful with everything the students needed. There were also some bad parts of going to a small, all girls school. As you would expect, there was a lot of drama with it being all girls. Even with this, it was easy to stay out of the drama if you wanted to.

Our daughter is a sophomore and we couldn't be happier with Rosary. We are confident she will be well prepared for college both academically and characterwise.
