Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dayton, Ohio, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 414. The school is part of the Dayton City School District, which is ranked 707 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student performance, chronic absenteeism, and overall school quality. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 41.8% to 48.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the Dayton City average and the state average. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary School consistently performs below the Dayton City and Ohio state averages on the Ohio State Tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 19.9% in Dayton City and 63.4% statewide. As a result, Roosevelt Elementary School has been ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools for the past several years, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

These challenges are not unique to Roosevelt Elementary School, as the nearby schools in the Dayton City School District, such as Fairview Elementary, Belle Haven Elementary, and Westwood Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the issues faced by Roosevelt Elementary School are systemic within the district and may be linked to socioeconomic factors, such as poverty and lack of access to resources, rather than any individual school-level factors.
