Summary

Roosevelt Elementary serves 785 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Long Beach, within the Long Beach Unified district. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below both district and state results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most pronounced state gap was in science: 12% of students met proficiency, compared with 36% statewide.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, Roosevelt’s strongest relative subject was math, though results were still below the peer average: 24% proficiency versus 33%. ELA and science were near the bottom of the local group; both were second-lowest among the 11 schools including Roosevelt, at 27% and 12%, respectively. Roosevelt also trailed the district in all three subjects: ELA was 27% versus 51%, math 24% versus 40%, and science 12% versus 31%. Within Roosevelt, third grade was a particular concern: its ELA and math results were each second-lowest among the nearby schools.

Results have declined since 2022–2023, while state results rose in every subject, widening Roosevelt’s state gaps by 5 points in ELA, 10 in math, and 10 in science. SchoolDigger rated Roosevelt at the 17th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 33rd percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024; the district’s SchoolDigger rating was 3 stars and the 59th percentile. Roosevelt’s student–teacher ratio was 25.7 in 2024–2025, near the middle of the local range. Its 2024–2025 measure was 89% free/reduced lunch eligible; although California is flagged as a statewide-free-meals state, this measure is not a direct measure of whether students receive free meals. SchoolDigger’s relative effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 54th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 15th in 2025–2026; its ranking for African American Students fell from the 57th to the 26th percentile over the same period.
