Roosevelt

Summary:

Roosevelt is an elementary school located in Worcester, MA that serves grades PK-6 with 566 students. It is part of the Worcester school district, which is ranked 308 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27.67% of Roosevelt students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39.17% statewide and 22.91% in the Worcester district. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 441 out of 932 elementary schools in 2015-2016 (3-star rating) to 670 out of 916 in 2023-2024 (1-star rating), placing it in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools.

Neighboring schools like Calvin Coolidge and Lake View (in Shrewsbury) significantly outperform Roosevelt on academic measures, despite serving similar demographics. Roosevelt's higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization.

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.
