Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in the Bellingham School District, serving 348 students in a central Bellingham location.

Academic performance at Roosevelt is significantly below both the district average and most nearby schools. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only about 42% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 33% in Math, compared to district averages of 56% and 45%. This places it in the lower tier of schools in the area, notably behind higher-performing neighbors like Silver Beach Elementary School and Columbia Elementary School. The school has shown a concerning downward trend in its statewide ranking over the past decade and faces particular challenges in upper grades, with only 21% of 5th graders proficient in math.

Roosevelt serves a student population where nearly half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher rate than many of the higher-performing schools in the district. Despite this, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14-to-1 and receives funding per student that is comparable to other schools, suggesting that factors beyond resources and class size are influencing outcomes. The school's performance for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds ranks in the bottom 10% statewide, indicating a critical area for improvement and targeted support.
