Summary

Roosevelt is an elementary school in Worcester, MA that serves 596 students in grades PK-6. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years, with academic performance significantly below state and district averages.

Roosevelt's MCAS Next Generation test scores show that only 31.27% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.53% statewide and 25.85% in the Worcester district. In math, the proficiency rate was 26.46% at Roosevelt, 40.74% statewide, and 23.59% in Worcester. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well but other subgroups like White students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities performing poorly.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Worcester district, such as Lake View, Vernon Hill, and Union Hill, also struggle academically, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. The only exception is Calvin Coolidge School in the neighboring Shrewsbury district, which performs significantly better. This highlights the importance of district-level factors in driving school performance.
