This place sucks. I have literally never met a graduate who enjoyed their time at this school, or any school. They say there is "diversity" within the community, when the majority of people of color or LGBT students are completely thrown under the rug, only used for PR purposes. Do not waste your money on a Catholic school, there are not a lot of good programs anyways and the first level of the upper school has asbestos.

I attended RCS for 8 years and would not have wanted to have gone to school anywhere else. RCS brings such a tight nit community, center all on Christ. Through the theology program and close friends I dove into my faith and this became a great "launching point" to enter the college world. Academicly, I was incredibly well prepared to college and benefitted greatly from the AP and dual enrollment programs, but most especially from the amazing and devoted teachers.

I loved the team sports we had but I did not like how we were so limited. There were some sports I wish our school had like Men's Volleyball and Men's Soccer.

I attended public school for grades K-3, Roanoke Catholic for 4th grade (still not sure why the change), then returned to public schools for grades 5-12. My single year at Roanoke Catholic was, hands down, the most traumatic year of my life. For a school based on Catholic values, many of its student...

This is a honest review…..As a parent of two former students and a practicing Catholic, this school has changed drastically over the past few years (not in a positive way). There are a few caring teachers that will go beyond to help your child succeed. These few teachers are top notch, the positive...

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...
