Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School

Summary:

Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kingsport, Tennessee that serves 277 students from kindergarten to 5th grade, and is part of the Kingsport school district, which is ranked 29th out of 139 districts in the state.

While Theodore Roosevelt Elementary has a higher percentage of minority students compared to nearby schools, with 25.27% non-white students, the school has consistently underperformed academically. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.1% of students were proficient or better in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, significantly lower than the Kingsport district (45.8% and 44.4% respectively) and the state of Tennessee (39.7% and 37.6% respectively). The school's statewide ranking has also declined, dropping from 257th out of 855 Tennessee elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 686th out of 1008 schools in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom third of elementary schools in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,072 in the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio, Theodore Roosevelt Elementary continues to struggle academically, particularly for certain student subgroups like females and white students. In comparison, nearby schools such as Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and Andrew Johnson Elementary School have consistently outperformed Theodore Roosevelt Elementary on standardized tests and maintained higher statewide rankings, highlighting the significant academic gap between the schools.

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.
