Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public K-8 school in Lindsay, CA, serving a high-need student population. With consistently low academic performance and high rates of poverty, English language learners, and chronic absenteeism, the school faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the Lindsay Unified district and across California.

Roosevelt Elementary has ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools for several years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 31.45% of students proficient or better in ELA and 21.43% in Mathematics in 2023-2024. The school also struggles to support its subgroups, with lower rankings for female, male, Hispanic, English learner, and low-socioeconomic status students compared to state averages. Additionally, Roosevelt has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 23.7 to 27.8 over the past few years.

While most of Roosevelt Elementary's performance metrics are in the bottom 20-30% of California schools, its 8th-grade ELA proficiency rate in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 was an outlier, with 48-50% of students proficient or better, which is closer to the state average. However, the school's overall academic struggles are further highlighted by the relatively stronger performance of nearby Lincoln Elementary and other schools within the Lindsay Unified district.

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.
