Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school in Hays, Kansas, serving 385 students in grades K-5. While the school has consistently outperformed the state average in academic proficiency, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 142nd out of 659 Kansas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 220th out of 653 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

One of the key strengths of Roosevelt Elementary is its ability to effectively serve its special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, ranking 90th and 193rd, respectively, out of Kansas elementary schools in these subgroups. However, the school's performance for its male and disabled student populations is relatively weaker, ranking 310th and 148th, respectively, out of Kansas elementary schools in 2020-2021. Notably, when compared to the nearby Kathryn O'Loughlin McCarthy Elementary, Roosevelt lags behind significantly in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency.

Despite these challenges, Roosevelt Elementary has several positive attributes. The school consistently outperforms the state average in ELA, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, and its spending per student of $12,315 in 2018-2019 is comparable to other schools in the Hays school district. By leveraging its strengths in serving special education and low-SES students and addressing the needs of its male and disabled populations, Roosevelt Elementary can strive to regain its position as a top-performing school in the state.

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.
