St. Rita School is a Catholic school with a large capacity for love, caring, and academic excellence. St. Rita's family atmosphere promotes, nourishes, and encourages spiritual growth and allows students to mature at a comfortable pace. Special programs, parental involvement and faculty commitment combine to provide our students with the spiritual, academic, and social skills that they need for success in high school and beyond. Our students are taught not just to be a part of society, but to participate actively in making the world a better place. St. Rita School services 504 children in grades prekindergarten through eight.
Most students come from middle income, working class families who live in the immediate area.
Programs have been increased in an effort to meet the broad needs of every student. To create a balance between intellectual and physical growth, St. Rita School offers a wide variety of cocurricular activities that promote positive self-esteem, discipline, and good sportsmanship. The physical plant consists of five separate buildings. The main building includes classrooms, a modern library, well-equipped science and computer laboratories, a fully functional cafeteria, and administrative offices. Two other buildings are used for community activities and storage.
