Summary
Roosevelt High is a grades 9–12 school serving 2,175 students in Fresno, California, as part of Fresno Unified. Its 2025–26 graduation rate was 91.5%, slightly above the district’s 91.2% and the state’s 87.9%, but chronic absenteeism remained high at 31%, compared with 27% in the district and 18% statewide. The central finding is that proficiency is below district and state levels in all three subjects, with the greatest shortfall in math.
ELA is Roosevelt’s strongest subject against local and state benchmarks, while math is its weakest: proficiency was 39% in ELA, 11% in math, and 14% in science, versus 40%, 29%, and 24% in the district and 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. Nearby comparisons also show Roosevelt behind larger Sunnyside High and McLane High in all three subjects. For example, ELA results were 39% at Roosevelt, 53% at Sunnyside, and 58% at McLane; science was 14%, 27%, and 18%, respectively. Roosevelt’s 11.4% math result was close to McLane’s 11.1%, but below Sunnyside’s 17%.
Results have moved in different directions over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 7 percentage points, math declined by less than 1 point, and science rose 6 points, though the science gap with the state remained about 22 points. SchoolDigger gives Roosevelt a 27th-percentile statewide rank and one star for 2025–26. Context measures include an 18.1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 92% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings point to particular challenges in serving Special Education Students and Asian Students: both groups rank at the 7th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 27th percentile.
