Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 490 students in the Hanford Elementary district, notable for its impressive and steady improvement from a low to a solid middle-tier ranking in recent years.

The school has shown remarkable progress, gaining 35 percentile points since 2019, a steeper climb than most neighbors. It excels in supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the state's top quarter for this group, and has dramatically reduced chronic student absences by 65%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rate exceeds the state average, which is a significant achievement given that over 90% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Compared to nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary, which serves a similar student population, Roosevelt performs notably better in key academic areas.

While the overall trend is positive, there are areas for growth. Performance varies significantly by grade, with strong 3rd and 5th-grade results but concerningly low 4th-grade English scores. Science proficiency is well below average, and the school struggles to support its special education students effectively. When compared to higher-performing district schools like Jefferson Academy or Martin Luther King Junior Elementary, Roosevelt's overall test scores are lower, but it's important to note it serves a community with much greater economic need, making its academic gains and specific strengths particularly commendable.
