Summary:
Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 262 students. The school is part of the Scottsbluff Public Schools district, which is ranked 146 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
While Roosevelt Elementary School has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 79.39% of students identifying as Hispanic, the school consistently performs below the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 35% of 3rd graders, 42% of 4th graders, and 29% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district scores of 57%, 52%, and 48%, respectively. The school's performance for female, male, and low socioeconomic status students is particularly low, ranking in the bottom third of Nebraska elementary schools for these subgroups.
Despite the school's high poverty rate, with 90.5% to 91.48% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its high per-student spending, ranging from $12,070 to $15,777 in recent years, Roosevelt Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools, with a ranking of 398 out of 459 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school's challenges go beyond just funding and resources, and may be related to issues of racial segregation within the Scottsbluff Public Schools district, as the nearby Longfellow Elementary School and Lincoln Heights Elementary School have more racially diverse student bodies.
