Roosevelt Children's Academy Charter School

Roosevelt Children's Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Roosevelt Children's Academy Charter School District, located in Roosevelt, New York. With a total enrollment of 730 students, the school stands out for its diverse student population, strong 3rd-grade math performance, and lower-than-average 8th-grade math results.

The school's student body is predominantly minority, with 57.12% African American and 41.78% Hispanic students, significantly higher than the state average. While the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 65.79% is notably higher than the state's 53.68%, its 8th-grade math proficiency rate of 22.95% is significantly lower than the state's 40.74%. This uneven academic performance suggests potential issues with curriculum alignment or instructional quality as students progress through the grades.

Despite spending over $20,000 per student, the Roosevelt Children's Academy Charter School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 53.42%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined from 1321 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1267 out of 2439 in 2022-2023, indicating a potential decline in performance relative to other schools in the state. As a charter school, Roosevelt Children's Academy may have more flexibility, but its academic results suggest the need for closer examination of its practices and strategies to better support its diverse student population.
