Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School in West Palm Beach, FL, is a small Title I school serving 315 students in grades PK-5 within the Palm Beach district, and it faces significant challenges due to a severe chronic absenteeism crisis that has kept its academic performance in the bottom 5% of Florida elementary schools for five years.

The most critical issue at Roosevelt is its extreme chronic absenteeism rate of 44.8% in 2023-2024, which is nearly double the district average and far higher than nearby schools like Northboro Elementary School (11.9%) and Renaissance Charter School At West Palm Beach (17.3%). This absenteeism directly impacts learning, with only 20% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 22% in Math, compared to district averages of 59% and 67%. Despite spending a high $18,611 per student—much more than the $11,090 spent at Renaissance Charter—these resources have not yet improved outcomes. Interestingly, just 0.42 miles away, U. B. Kinsey/Palmview Elementary serves a similar student population but has a lower absenteeism rate (32.2%) and ranks in the 58th percentile, suggesting school-specific factors like culture and family engagement play a key role.

There is one bright spot: 4th-grade Math proficiency jumped to 61% in 2025-2026, outperforming the district average and nearby schools like Northmore Elementary School (47%) and West Gate Elementary School (41%). This success suggests a specific teacher or program is working well and could be replicated school-wide. For parents, the main takeaway is that Roosevelt is in a crisis driven by absenteeism, but the 4th-grade math achievement offers hope that targeted efforts can make a difference.
