Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Mason City Community School District in Mason City, Iowa, with a student population of 357 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While Roosevelt Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the ISASP tests, is generally below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with a 1-star rating. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.65% to 67.51% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Hoover Elementary and Harding Elementary schools, as well as the more affluent Jefferson Elementary.

While Roosevelt Elementary's spending per student is higher than the nearby schools, this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the school. In contrast, the higher-performing Jefferson Elementary, which is also part of the Mason City Community School District, has significantly better academic outcomes, a lower percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, and a lower student-teacher ratio. Additionally, some of the more distant schools in the surrounding area, such as RRMR Elementary School and West Fork Elementary at Rockwell, have academic performance that is generally on par with or better than Roosevelt Elementary.

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.
