Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 545 students in grades K-5 in the Hawthorne Public School District in Hawthorne, New Jersey. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (44.04%) and Hispanic (45.87%).

While Roosevelt Elementary has shown consistent performance on state assessments, with 3-year SchoolDigger ratings of 3 out of 5 stars, there are some areas of concern. The school's 4th and 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts, but 3rd-grade students underperformed in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.1% in 2017-2018 to 16.8% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district's chronic absenteeism rate. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 32.11% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, Roosevelt Elementary's Hispanic and Special Education students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top 30-35% of New Jersey elementary schools in recent years. In contrast, the school's White and Female students have ranked in the middle to lower-middle range. Nearby high-performing schools like Orchard Elementary and Central School in the Ridgewood and Glen Rock districts consistently outperform Roosevelt Elementary on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, which could provide valuable insights for improving outcomes at Roosevelt Elementary.

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.
