Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 691 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state.

Despite the district's ranking, Roosevelt Elementary has consistently performed exceptionally well, ranking among the top elementary schools in Florida. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 97th out of 2,258 Florida elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This strong academic performance is evident across all grade levels and subject areas, with Roosevelt students significantly outperforming their peers in the district and state on standardized tests.

While Roosevelt Elementary's academic achievements are impressive, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.5% in 2020-2021 to 31.4% in 2023-2024. This is an issue the school and district will need to address, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, the school serves a relatively affluent student population, with a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the district and state averages. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's strong performance, but it is crucial that all students, regardless of their background, have access to a high-quality education.
