Schools in Sacramento Area (Roseville: home, neighborhoods, to buy)

[ryanh1124]

Relocating to Sacramento Area (Roseville) from Indiana. Just wanted to know what kind of Catholic schools exist out there/ prices/ opinions. Thanks for the help.

It depends on where you will live in Roseville. A lot of Roseville was built out in the past 10 to 15 years. In many neighborhoods in Roseville, the local parishes are still raising money to buy land and construct a Church. Then later as they raise more money, then they will open up a school.

You should be able to find the location of the Catholic Schools here

and find more feed back on them here.

Cristo Rey High School - Sacramento

About a month ago, they announced that Loretto will close at the end of this year, but there is some talk about trying to reverse that decision.

Christian Brothers is a co-ed Catholic High School. Loretto and Saint Francis are all female and Jesuit is all male.

At Cristo Rey, the students are supposed to work part time to help keep tuition down. I believe that school is co-ed as well but I am not entirely sure.

Catholic schools are all in Sacramento as listed above. there are a few non-catholic Christian schools in Roseville however. I know that not what your asking, but I figured I'd toss that in for you though.
the public schools in Roseville are a mixed bag however. not terrible inner-city, but check them out before you commit. there is a thriving drug culture in at least two of them.
