The school is part of the Norristown Area School District, which is ranked 497 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Roosevelt Campus consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Pennsylvania, with its academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics lagging far behind the state and district averages, as well as nearby higher-performing schools like Upper Dublin High School, Wissahickon Senior High School, and Harriton Senior High School. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 36.5% and 87.9% in recent years, while its dropout rate has ranged from 1.4% to 14.8%, generally worse than the other high school in the district.

Despite the school's high spending per student, which has ranged from $17,364 to $23,601 in recent years, the Roosevelt Campus serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 96.45% to 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's struggles are well-documented, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement if the right strategies and resources are put in place to support the unique needs of its students.
