Roosevelt School

Summary:

Roosevelt School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with a student population of 466. The school is part of the Bridgeport School District, which is ranked 152 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Roosevelt School has a predominantly Hispanic (56.01%) and African American (29.4%) student population and has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Connecticut elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt School significantly underperforms compared to the Bridgeport School District and the state of Connecticut in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 10.9% of 3rd graders at Roosevelt School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 15.4% in the Bridgeport district and 45.9% statewide. The school also ranks in the bottom 30-40% of Connecticut elementary schools for Hispanic, special education, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, indicating significant achievement gaps for these vulnerable student populations. Additionally, Roosevelt School has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 78.35% to 90.77% over the past three school years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families.

While other nearby Bridgeport schools, such as James J. Curiale School and Cesar Batalla School, also struggle with low performance, Roosevelt School consistently ranks among the lowest in the district and state. This indicates that Roosevelt may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions. Addressing the social, emotional, and resource needs of students from low-income families could be crucial to improving outcomes at Roosevelt School.

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.
