The school excels by providing balanced, high-quality instruction across all subjects, with over 72% of students proficient in both English and Math and nearly 69% in Science, all well above state averages. What truly sets Roosevelt apart is its exceptional support for all students, including those in Special Education and English Language Learner programs, ensuring high achievement across different groups. Furthermore, the school maintains a lower chronic absenteeism rate (11.3%) than both the district and state, indicating a positive and engaging school environment where students want to be.
