Open Quote I feel so blessed and honored that my boys are students at St. Rita! The school truly embraces its mission of “the soul of education is the education of the soul”. The curriculum is not only strong but they truly do teach to the mind and soul of each student. St. Rita is a small school which allows an amazing community of families to flourish and support one another.

Plus, the amazing principal, Mrs. Mary Pat Schlickenmaier recently was honored with a national award from the National Catholic Education Association, only one of nine principals in the entire country! Close Quote

Open Quote This is our 6th year at St Rita School. A warm, friendly atmosphere is evident when you enter the school. There is a highly qualified staff and a strong curriculum all wrapped in the arms of the Catholic faith which is taught and lived by all on a daily basis. I would highly reccomend this little hidden gem in Alexandria. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
