Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school located in Compton, California, serving 601 students in grades K-8. It is part of the Compton Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 15.6% in 2017-2018 to 42.8% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently lower than the Compton Unified and California state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2021-2022.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Mayo Elementary and Kelly Elementary consistently outperform Roosevelt Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, as well as in Science. However, the nearby schools in the Lynwood Unified School District generally have lower proficiency rates than Roosevelt Elementary, though the differences are not as stark. Addressing the challenges faced by Roosevelt Elementary will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for its students.

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.
