Summary

Theodore Roosevelt Senior High is a large public high school serving about 1,678 students in grades 9-12 in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district.

Academically, the school faces challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects like science notably below state averages; however, it excels in graduating students, with a 93.8% graduation rate that surpasses both district and state figures and outperforms many nearby schools like Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez High and local continuation schools. The school shows particular strengths in supporting Hispanic students, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and English Language Learners, with performance for these groups often ranking above state averages, though support for other subgroups like special education students has seen significant year-to-year fluctuations.

A fascinating aspect of Roosevelt is the "school within a school" model, as it shares its campus with the highly successful Math Science & Technology Magnet Academy at Roosevelt High, which has much higher test scores and a 100% graduation rate despite serving a similarly high-poverty population, highlighting different educational approaches on the same grounds. Compared to area charter schools such as Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High and Alliance Morgan McKinzie High, Roosevelt is competitive, particularly in graduation success, though it trails in some academic areas.
