Parents and students, as members of the St. Rose of Lima community, agree to comply with the policies and regulations of the school and the Archdiocese of Denver. The staff is committed to establishing a school atmosphere permeated by gospel values and a spirit of mutual respect, order, responsibility and self-discipline. It is the responsibility of every student to respect the rights of all who are involved in the educational process and to refrain from any behaviors which interfere with the education of fellow students.

Profile of Saint Rose of Lima Students

The 160 children served every year by St. Rose of Lima School are among the most economically disadvantaged youth in Colorado. Seventy percent of our students come from families living at or below the poverty level ($10,350 for a family of four in 2004), with another 20% being just above the poverty level. Thus, the issues addressed by St. Rose of Lima school are generally poverty issues surrounding education such as high drop-out rates among minority and inner-city youth and providing a safe environment for students.  A large majority of students are consistently from Hispanic families, and many students come from families with single and/or unmarried parents.  70% of all students are Hispanic.
