Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 741 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state.

Roosevelt Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Florida, with students outperforming district and state averages in standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 84% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 47% in the Hillsborough district and 53% statewide. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority (over 70%) of white students, in contrast to nearby schools like MacFarlane Park Elementary Magnet School and Roland Park K-8 Magnet School, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary has a low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 9.08% to 10.12%, significantly lower than nearby schools like Chiaramonte Elementary (66.08%) and Anderson Elementary (46.38%).

Despite its exceptional academic performance, the stark contrast in socioeconomic status and racial diversity between Roosevelt Elementary and some nearby schools raises questions about equity and access to high-quality education across the Hillsborough School District. While Roosevelt Elementary's success may not be solely attributable to its student demographics, it is important to investigate the factors contributing to these disparities and explore ways to ensure that all students in the district have access to the same level of educational opportunities.

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.
