Summary:

Roosevelt High is a public high school located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,044 students. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 322 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt High has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that has shifted over the past few years. In the 2022-2023 school year, the student body was 41.38% White, 20.69% African American, 29.79% Hispanic, 1.72% Asian, 2.68% Native American, 0.19% Pacific Islander, and 3.54% two or more races. This diversity is notable compared to some nearby schools, such as Heritage Academy High, which has a student population that is 95.24% African American. Academically, Roosevelt High's performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally below the state and district averages, though the school's performance in Reading is slightly better than in Math.

Interestingly, when comparing Roosevelt High to nearby schools, some patterns emerge. For example, South High, located just 1.25 miles from Roosevelt High, has a more diverse student population and generally performs better academically. Additionally, Roosevelt High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's White students consistently performing better than their peers, while the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform significantly worse. These insights suggest that Roosevelt High faces unique challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student population.

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.

Open Quote Roosevelt has been a great school for our child. The arts programming is fantastic and includes one of the best choir teachers I have ever known. The IB program provides rigorous academics for students who are interested. The relatively small size (under 1000) lets teachers and administrators really get to know the kids. In fact, the principal stands outside each morning and greets kids by name. Roosevelt teachers, staff, and students are building a lovely community of learners. Close Quote

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.
