Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 457 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 352 out of 428 districts in the state.

Roosevelt Elementary consistently outperforms the Kenosha School District and the state of Wisconsin in academic proficiency, with 58.23% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 43.81% for the district and 52.07% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong for African American and multi-racial students. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and inconsistent performance for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, students with special needs, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Compared to nearby schools, Roosevelt Elementary generally outperforms its peers, but the Kenosha School of Technology Enhanced Curriculum charter school also performs well.

Over the past several years, Roosevelt Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 146th out of 1,075 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 469th out of 1,061 in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and warrants further investigation. The school's higher spending per student compared to the state average may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, but the school should also focus on ensuring equitable and effective resource allocation to support all students.

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.

Open Quote A terrible elementary. Especially if your child has special needs. The principal has no desire to work with families of children with special needs. The worst experience I have ever had with KUSD. Close Quote

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.
