Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 353 students in grades PK-6. The school has a predominantly African American student body, with 86.69% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student at $11,813 in 2018-2019, Roosevelt Elementary School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 48.8% in 2023-2024 to 66.3% in 2020-2021, which is much higher than the Dayton City and state averages. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is consistently lower than the Dayton City and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 14.6%, compared to 21% for Dayton City and 64% for the state.

When comparing Roosevelt Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Dayton City district, such as Fairview Elementary and Belle Haven Elementary, the academic performance and other key metrics are relatively similar, with all three schools performing well below the state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Roosevelt Elementary School are not unique and may be indicative of broader issues within the Dayton City school district.

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.
