Roosevelt Elementary School

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.

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.
