Roosevelt High School

Summary:

Roosevelt High School is a public high school in Portland, Oregon, serving 1,484 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 17 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Roosevelt High School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 25.2% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.7% for the district and 45.2% for the state. Similarly, only 21.3% were proficient or better in Science, compared to 40.4% for the district and 32% for the state. This trend has persisted over the past few years, with Roosevelt High School ranking in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank significantly lower than their peers at other schools.

When comparing Roosevelt High School to nearby schools within the Portland School District 1J, such as Grant High School and Lincoln High School, the performance gap is stark. These schools consistently outperform Roosevelt High School in academic measures, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Despite the higher spending per student at Roosevelt High School compared to the district and state averages, the school's academic performance remains low, suggesting that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to address these disparities and improve student outcomes.

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.
