There's no way to quantify the value of an RCS education. I have two graduates who still call their RCS friends "family." No matter where they came from or where they are headed these kids have each other's back for life. They grew up together in a loving faith filled community! Their foundation is solid!

My child has attended RCS for the past 11 years and it has been an amazing experience. The faculty and staff are top notch, the hallways are filled with laughter and love, and my child has truly grown both academically and spiritually. We can't imagine being anywhere else.

I feel my parents wasted their money sending me here. I was here in '75 to '77 for 6th and 7th grade. This is an upward bound school for students that never had a problem with any subject. Unfortunately math has always been a problem for me.

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...
