Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arkansas City, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 208. The school is part of the Arkansas City school district, which is ranked 244 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 295 and 551 out of around 650-670 schools. The school has maintained a 1-3 star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in KAP (Kansas Assessment Program) tests, is generally below the state and Arkansas City averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (23.23%) and Mathematics (29.4%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively.

Compared to other nearby schools in the Arkansas City district, such as C 4 Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary's performance is also on the lower end. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its academic struggles. Given the school's persistent underperformance, especially in the early grades, there may be a need for more targeted interventions and support to help improve student learning 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.
