Summary

Roosevelt Creative Corridor Business Academy is a public middle school located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 528 students. The school is part of the Cedar Rapids Community School District, which is ranked 279 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.6% to 46.3%, significantly higher than nearby schools like Harding Middle School, Franklin Middle School, and Wilson Middle School, all of which have a 21.6% chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, the school's performance on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) is consistently lower than the Cedar Rapids Community School District and the state of Iowa averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.63% to 75.54%, significantly higher than the nearby schools mentioned. This suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a significant contributor to the school's academic challenges and high chronic absenteeism rates. The combination of low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty concentration indicates that Roosevelt Creative Corridor Business Academy may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population.
