Roosevelt Public School

Q: Is Roosevelt Public School a good school?

Roosevelt Public School ranks 535 th of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Roosevelt Public School is a small elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the borough of Roosevelt, New Jersey. With just 89 students, the school stands out from its more populous neighbors in several key ways.

Academically, Roosevelt Public School has had a mixed track record in recent years. While it once ranked as high as 23rd out of over 1,300 New Jersey elementary schools, its ranking has since declined to 535th. This drop in performance, along with fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, suggests there may be underlying issues the school needs to address. Interestingly, Roosevelt Public School serves a student population that is significantly less racially diverse and more economically advantaged than nearby schools, with only 3.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

These contrasts raise important questions about the school's ability to provide an inclusive, equitable learning environment for all students. As the Jackson Township School District and Roosevelt Public School work to understand and address the school's challenges, parents in the area may want to closely examine the performance and demographics of other local options, such as Elms Elementary School, Walter C. Black Elementary School, and Grace N. Rogers Elementary School.

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.
