Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 534 students in the Compton Unified district, operating in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school has a standout success story in dramatically improving student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from over 35% to just 3.5% in one year, which is far better than the district, state, and nearby schools like those in Lynwood Unified. It also shows particular strength in teaching English Language Learners, who perform well above state averages. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, especially in science and upper-grade math, with science proficiency notably lower than at other Mayo Elementary, Kelly Elementary, and Foster Elementary.

Overall, Roosevelt's academic performance is improving but remains in the lower tier among Compton Unified schools like Mayo and Foster, though it generally outperforms schools in the neighboring Lynwood Unified district. Performance varies widely by grade, and the school spends more per student than most similar schools in the district, raising questions about how those resources are used to address its academic weaknesses.
