Summary

Roosevelt K-8 School is a public elementary school in Hyde Park, MA, serving 331 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Boston Public School District, which is ranked 298 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending, Roosevelt K-8 School consistently performs below state and district averages in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.77% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 29.27% in Boston and 41.53% statewide. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was 16.06%, compared to 27.68% in Boston and 40.74% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

While the nearby Chittick Elementary, Beethoven Elementary, and Conley Elementary schools in the Boston Public School District also perform below state averages, some schools in the neighboring Dedham and Milton districts, such as Oakdale, Avery, and Tucker, significantly outperform Roosevelt K-8 School and the Boston district as a whole.
