Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 529 students in grades PK-6 in Mesa, Arizona, which is part of the Mesa Unified District. The school faces significant challenges, consistently performing below district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 21-29% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 22% proficient in Mathematics, compared to 38-46% proficiency at the district level.

Roosevelt Elementary has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools for several years, receiving 0-1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings for African American, Hispanic, White, multi-racial, special education, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom 30-40% of Arizona elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage (70.7%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity of Roosevelt, such as Guerrero Elementary, Redbird Elementary, Adams Elementary, and Washington Elementary, also perform poorly compared to state and district averages, suggesting that the challenges facing Roosevelt Elementary may be systemic issues within the local community and school district. However, the nearby Arizona Language Schools, a public charter elementary school, ranks in the top 3% of Arizona elementary schools and significantly outperforms Roosevelt and the surrounding district schools on academic measures.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

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.
