Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 445 students in the Lynwood Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below state averages and a statewide ranking in the bottom 15% of elementary schools. A major area of concern is chronic student absenteeism, which at 32.5% is notably higher than at many nearby schools, such as Bryson Avenue Elementary (17.6%) and Madison Elementary (15.4%). The school's performance also lags considerably behind other schools in the same district with similar student demographics, most strikingly when compared to Washington Elementary, which achieves much higher test scores despite serving a community with nearly identical economic needs.

Despite these struggles, there are signs of potential, including a recent improvement from a 0-star to a 1-star rating and relatively better performance in supporting English Language Learner students. The analysis suggests that targeted efforts to improve attendance, learn from the successful practices of higher-performing peers like Washington Elementary, and strengthen math instruction could be key pathways to helping Roosevelt Elementary students achieve better outcomes.
