Admissions Assessments:
 
  • All  PK and Kinder applicants will be subject to taking the PK/K Readiness Assessment
  • Students applying for 1st to 8th Grade will take St. Rita's in-house placement assessment. The in-house assessment is the Renaissance 360 (STAR) test. Recent scores from other schools for this assessment will be accepted.
      • Placement assessments are required for grades 1-8. However, we believe that these assessments are only one measure of an applicant's potential future success. We also consider how well applicants build relationships and work with other students; how they integrate themselves into the classroom; family alignment with the school's mission; and social skills, including respect, maturity, responsibility and self-confidence.
