Summary

Roosevelt High is a large public high school serving about 2,175 students in grades 9-12 within the Fresno Unified School District, located in a high-poverty area where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school presents a complex picture: it successfully graduates over 90% of its students, which is higher than both the district and state averages, but its students' proficiency in core academic subjects, especially math, is critically low. For example, only about 10% of students are proficient in math, which is a challenge shared across many comprehensive high schools in the district like McLane High and Sunnyside High. This gap suggests that while support systems help students earn diplomas, they may not be building strong college-ready skills. Furthermore, chronic absenteeism, where students miss a significant amount of school, is a serious issue at 34%, which is much higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Roosevelt sits in the middle of a wide spectrum. It performs better than some alternative schools with very high needs, like Farber School of Credit Attainment, but does not match the high academic outcomes of selective charter schools such as the Career Technical Education Charter. The school's effectiveness varies for different groups of students, with some subgroups showing significant declines in performance in recent years. Addressing the math proficiency gap and high absenteeism appear to be the most urgent challenges for Roosevelt High.
