Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, with 262 students. The school is part of the Scottsbluff Public Schools district, which is ranked 156 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Roosevelt Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 351-461 out of 442-488 schools.

The school faces significant challenges, including low academic achievement, with only 40-48% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 50-70% for the district and 57-62% for the state. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 26.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's high-poverty student population, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these challenges.

While Roosevelt Elementary's overall performance is concerning, it is worth noting that the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner student subgroups perform relatively better, ranking in the top half of Nebraska schools for those subgroups in recent years. This suggests that the school has the potential to improve with the right strategies and support. In contrast, nearby schools like Longfellow Elementary and Westmoor Elementary consistently rank in the top half of Nebraska elementary schools and outperform Roosevelt across academic metrics.

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.
