Summary

Roosevelt (Theodore) Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 663 students in the Anaheim Elementary district, presenting a profile of a school with significant resources and recent improvements in attendance, yet facing ongoing academic challenges.

Academically, Roosevelt's test scores are a mixed picture; they are higher than the district average but trail behind California state averages in English, Math, and Science. Compared to nearby schools, it sits in the middle, performing better than Sunkist Elementary and Lincoln (Abraham) Elementary but behind higher-achieving schools like Jefferson (Thomas) Elementary and Franklin (Benjamin) Elementary. A notable success story is a dramatic drop in chronic absenteeism, which at 19.8% is now better than the district and several neighboring schools, including Guinn (James M.) Elementary and Revere (Paul) Elementary.

Roosevelt has the highest per-student spending among its comparison schools, though this has not yet translated to top-tier academic results. The school shows particular strength in supporting Special Education students but has struggled more with English Language Learners. Performance also tends to decline in the upper grades, suggesting a focus area for curriculum support. While the school's statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years, the strong progress on attendance is a positive indicator that may support future academic growth.
