Roosevelt School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Roosevelt School is an elementary school in Yuma, Arizona, serving 257 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Yuma Elementary District, which is ranked 315 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending of $9,565, Roosevelt School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 19% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the district average of 33% and the state average of 34%. The school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 29% also lags behind the district's 33% and the state's 41%. Roosevelt School's low academic performance is reflected in its 1-star statewide ranking, placing it in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Yuma Elementary District, such as C.W. McGraw Elementary, George Washington Carver Elementary, and O.C. Johnson School, it becomes clear that Roosevelt School is the lowest-performing school in the district. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, at 89.49%, likely contributes to its academic challenges, despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.1.
