Summary

Theodore Roosevelt Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-5 public school serving 591 students in the well-regarded Burbank Unified school district, where it stands out for its strong academic results and exceptional student attendance.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency in math and English significantly above both district and state averages, and it has maintained a stable 4-star rating for the past decade. A particularly remarkable strength is its support for special student populations; its Special Education program ranks in the state's top 10%, performing even better than the school's overall high ranking. Furthermore, the school achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending less per student and operating with a higher student-teacher ratio than some nearby schools like William McKinley Elementary and its closest peer, R. L. Stevenson Elementary, while maintaining similar academic performance and even better attendance rates.

Perhaps the most striking metric is chronic absenteeism, which at 6.2% is less than half the district average and the lowest among all comparable schools, demonstrating a strong, engaged school community. While all schools in Burbank Unified perform well compared to neighboring districts like Los Angeles Unified, Roosevelt distinguishes itself with this exceptional attendance and its effective systems that deliver excellent results across diverse student needs.
