Summary

Theodore Roosevelt School is an elementary school in Binghamton, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 336 students. The school is part of the Binghamton City School District, which is ranked 782 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Theodore Roosevelt School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the Binghamton City School District and the state of New York in standardized test scores for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18% of 3rd graders, 29.27% of 4th graders, and 26.32% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 41.45%, 41.08%, and 39.34%, respectively. The school's Math proficiency rates are even lower, with only 10% of 3rd graders, 30% of 4th graders, and 13.51% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the district's 42.16%, 46.15%, and 26.3%. Additionally, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students in both ELA and Math.

When comparing Theodore Roosevelt School to other elementary schools in the Binghamton City School District, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For instance, Woodrow Wilson School and Horace Mann School consistently outperform Theodore Roosevelt School in ELA and Math proficiency rates. The data indicates that Theodore Roosevelt School has significant room for improvement in supporting the academic achievement of its students, particularly for underperforming subgroups, and implementing targeted interventions and evidence-based instructional practices could be crucial steps in addressing the school's challenges.

This is a very high-needs area. Many of the children's parents struggle with English. The teachers and principal at this school are among the most enthusiastic, dedicated, skillful and joyful teachers I have ever worked with. They have the most wonderful school garden and a garden club program that allows the children to till soil, plant, tend, harvest, cook and eat the fruits and vegetables they grow. There are graphics of healthful eating habits all over the cafeteria. They hold special curriculum nights that offer myriad extra-curricular activities. They have music instruction, after-school chorus classes and so many other enriching opportunities for these very needy kids. Thanks for making such a huge difference in the lives of these children!
