Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lynwood, California, serving 492 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Lynwood Unified School District, which is ranked 1207 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt Elementary is struggling academically compared to its neighboring schools, both within the Lynwood Unified District and in the nearby Los Angeles Unified District. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Roosevelt's 6th-grade Math proficiency rate was only 3.8%, compared to 31.25% at Washington Elementary. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has more than doubled in the past five years, is likely a significant contributing factor to its poor academic performance.

Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 86.59% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide the necessary resources and support to meet the needs of its student population. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic disparities will be crucial for improving the educational 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.
