Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school in Racine, Wisconsin, serving 215 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Racine Unified School District, which is ranked 413 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with only 48.28% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 27.59% of 3rd-grade students and 0% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics. The school also faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.5% to 62.4% in recent years. These academic and attendance struggles are compounded by the fact that 83.72% of Roosevelt's students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, much higher than the district and state averages.

The challenges faced by Roosevelt Elementary are not unique within the Racine Unified School District, as nearby schools like Fratt Elementary, RUSD Montessori, and Knapp Elementary also struggle with poor academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,786, Roosevelt Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its key metrics over the past several years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of more effective strategies to support student success.

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.
