Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Nampa, Idaho, serving 580 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces several key challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate, consistently low test scores, and a large population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Roosevelt Elementary has struggled with academic performance, ranking 234 out of 301 Idaho elementary schools in 2023-2024, down from 101 out of 171 in 2018-2019. The school's proficiency rates in ISAT Math (34.4%) and ISAT English Language Arts (37.8%) are well below the state averages of 42.2% and 53.3%, respectively. This is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male students and Hispanic students, who perform in the bottom tier compared to their peers statewide. When compared to nearby schools in the Nampa School District, Roosevelt Elementary generally underperforms, with Willow Creek Elementary outperforming it in both math and English language arts proficiency.

The high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 9.8% in 2020-2021 to 29% in 2021-2022, and the large percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (44.83% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) suggest that Roosevelt Elementary may be facing significant challenges in terms of student engagement, access to resources, and overall school climate and culture. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance over time, indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to address the issues and improve the educational experience for all students.

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.
