There are many staff members that are wonderful. However, our family's experience overall has been negative. Poor communications, misgivings, too much $ spent to pretty the school, not COVID friendly and more. I wanted this to be the school for our family. Disappointed.

We sent our son to Roanoke Catholic after experiencing Botetourt County schools. After seven years at Catholic, we are thrilled with the education he has received and the quality of the character of the staff and administration. The teachers are hard working and set high expectations for the student...

I was a student here and honestly the religion classes are a joke and their idea of quality education just means piling on the homework.
