St Rita School is a safe environment with a staff of dedicated teachers and administration that care about their students and love their profession. The school is one that develops the whole person in values, standards and morals and prepares them well for their next level of secondary education. This is proven by the wide acceptance of its graduating classes to private and major Parochial High Schools. The avreage Iowa Testing scores exceed the comparative scores of the public schools by far. Close Quote
