Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 489 students in the Central Unified School District in Fresno, with a student body where the vast majority come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, Roosevelt faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are well below both district and state averages. A key differentiator from higher-performing nearby schools like Herndon-Barstow Elementary and Central Elementary is its high rate of chronic absenteeism, which is more than double that of some peers. While many surrounding schools in Central Unified show better results, Roosevelt's performance has declined over the past decade.

Interestingly, several schools with similar student demographics, such as Teague Elementary and Hanh Phan Tilley Elementary, outperform Roosevelt, indicating that high poverty rates alone do not determine outcomes. The school spends a mid-range amount per student compared to others in the district, yet achieves lower results, raising questions about how resources are used. A potential bright spot is that Roosevelt's English Language Learner students have shown relatively stronger performance in recent years.
