Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 421 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body, with 92.64% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year, and is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Roosevelt Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.54% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 41.58% for the district and 40.86% for the state. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, ranking in the top 648 out of 2,443 Texas elementary schools for African American students but in the bottom 3,493 out of 4,086 for special education students. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.09% to 86.44% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Interestingly, Roosevelt Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 1,129 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 (rated 4 stars) to 2,039 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024 (rated 3 stars), suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance over the years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Janowski Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary generally underperforms in both reading and mathematics, with lower proficiency rates across most grade levels. However, it outperforms some nearby schools in certain subject areas and grade levels. The school's leadership and the Houston Independent School District should closely examine these issues and implement targeted interventions to address the specific needs of the school and its student population.

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.
