While Roosevelt Elementary has some bright spots, such as relatively strong performance among English Language Learners and Hispanic students, the school faces several significant challenges. Chronic absenteeism rates have skyrocketed from 4.4% in 2017-2018 to 37.6% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Roosevelt Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 37.78% of students proficient or better in ELA and 34.07% in Mathematics, compared to 45.09% and 37.68% in the district, respectively. The school also struggles to support its Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools for this subgroup.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Hanford Elementary School District, Roosevelt Elementary generally underperforms. However, nearby Joseph M. Simas and Jefferson Academy stand out as high-performing, with significantly higher proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas. Understanding the practices and strategies employed at these successful schools could provide valuable insights for improving outcomes at Roosevelt Elementary.

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.
