Compared with the five other Burlingame schools, it was below their average by 7 points in ELA, 8 in math and 10 in science; among ten nearby schools, it ranked second-lowest in science and fourth-lowest in ELA and math. Fifth-grade ELA stands out: Roosevelt scored 61%, 13 points below the district and below every other Burlingame school in that grade. Math is its strongest subject against the state, while science is weakest against local peers.
Scores have been broadly flat since 2022–2023, despite some year-to-year movement. Science rose to 64% in 2024–2025, then fell 10 points to 54% the next year; ELA and science were nearly unchanged across the full period, while math edged up. SchoolDigger placed Roosevelt at the 87th percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, but seven of the ten nearby schools ranked higher. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.9, the lowest among the six Burlingame schools, and its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 24% that school year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well Roosevelt served Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 19th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 87th percentile; it had been at the 60th percentile the prior year. For Hispanic Students, that ranking rose from the 4th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th in 2024–2025.
