Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school located in Willmar, Minnesota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 649 students. The school is part of the Willmar Public School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Roosevelt Elementary has a diverse student population, with significant representation of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students, the school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages in math, reading, and science proficiency. However, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform better than the state averages for those subgroups, ranking in the top half of Minnesota elementary schools. In contrast, the school's White student subgroup performs significantly worse than the state average for White students.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Willmar Public School District, such as Lakeland Elementary and Kennedy Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures. However, Roosevelt Elementary's performance is still better than some nearby schools outside the district, such as Murdock Elementary and MACCRAY Elementary, which are in other districts. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance, and addressing this challenge could be a key focus area for improvement.

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.
