Summary

Theodore Roosevelt Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 634 students in the Selma Unified district, consistently performing as a solid, mid-tier school within its local area despite serving a community with significant economic needs.

Academically, Theodore Roosevelt stands out in its district, typically ranking second among local elementary schools in English and Math, only behind the exceptionally high-performing James Garfield Elementary. The school shows particular strength in supporting English Learner students, who perform well above state averages. However, the school faces a notable challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is higher than at several nearby schools like Indianola Elementary and Eric White Elementary.

Compared to other schools with similar student demographics in Selma Unified, such as Terry Elementary or Woodrow Wilson Elementary, Theodore Roosevelt achieves stronger academic results even with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending. This suggests efficient use of resources and effective teaching strategies, especially for vulnerable student groups, making it a resilient and steadily performing choice in the area.
