THE SCHOOL Originally, Rosati-Kain was established as two separate educational institutions named for Joseph Rosati and John Joseph Kain, the first two Archbishops of St. Louis. The centers were run by the Sisters of Saint Joseph (Rosati Center) and School Sisters of Notre Dame (Kain Center). In the fall of 1911, the two centers combined to form one school, Rosati-Kain. Presently, Rosati-Kain educates students from throughout the metropolitan St. Louis area and Illinois (109 grade schools and 66 zip codes) to enrich, cultivate, educate, and prepare them for their future in the new century. Located in the city’s Central West End, Rosati-Kain serves young women diverse in religious, geographical, social, racial, and economic backgrounds. Rosati-Kain is accredited by AdvancED. Currently there are 33 faculty members; 64% hold advanced degrees. Admission is by selection based on standardized test scores and grade school record. There are currently 277 students enrolled; 60 seniors, 85 juniors, 77 sophomores, and 55 freshmen. When asked, students identify themselves as the following: Black or African American (24%), Hispanic or Latino (5%), Multiracial (6%), White/Non-Hispanic (60%), and Other or Not Reported (5%). Currently 21% of our school’s population qualifies for free or reduced lunch according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Eligibility Guidelines.
