Roosevelt Middle School

Summary:

Roosevelt Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Hempstead Union Free School District. With a student population of 455, the school has a racial makeup that is predominantly African American (46.59%) and Hispanic (52.09%).

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $26,717 in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools, Roosevelt Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly underperforming state averages. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 28.29% to 45.33% in ELA and 30.3% to 39.91% in Math, compared to state averages of 48% to 55.2% in ELA and 40.74% to 51.94% in Math.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Roosevelt Middle School, with 65.23% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2021-2022, is in stark contrast to the nearby Shore Road School (7.62%) and Wantagh Middle School (26.41%). This, combined with the school's predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, suggests that there may be significant racial and socioeconomic disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes that need to be addressed.

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.
