Roosevelt Elementary

Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school located in McAllen, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 433. The school is part of the McAllen Independent School District, which is ranked 323 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and for certain student subgroups. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with STAAR test scores that are significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 43.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 58.1% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is especially low in mathematics, with only 20.75% of 3rd graders, 38.33% of 4th graders, and 43.42% of 5th graders achieving proficiency or better.

However, Roosevelt Elementary has some areas of strength to build upon. The school's performance for its gifted and talented students, as well as its at-risk students, is relatively strong, suggesting that it may have effective practices in place that could be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes. Comparing Roosevelt Elementary to nearby schools, such as Thigpen-Zavala Elementary and schools in the Sharyland Independent School District, highlights the need for Roosevelt Elementary to learn from and emulate the successful strategies of higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
