Summary

Roosevelt Middle serves 512 students in grades 6–8 in Oakland. In 2025–26, about 26% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 20% in math, and 14% in science. The most important finding for families is that results were below both Oakland Unified and California in all three subjects.

Compared with nearby Oakland Unified schools, Roosevelt is more competitive in ELA and math than in science: it ranked second among six district schools in ELA and math, and third in science. Across seven nearby schools with scores, it ranked fifth in ELA and fourth in math and science. Its math result was closest to district and state levels, trailing by about 8 and 18 percentage points; science had the largest district gap, about 14 points. Results varied widely nearby: Edna Brewer Middle had 58% proficiency in ELA, 46% in math, and 47% in science, while Piedmont Middle had 87%, 80%, and 77%, respectively.

Recent results improved slightly in all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the four-year picture is less encouraging: science proficiency fell about 6 points as the state’s rose about 6, and Roosevelt’s gap to the state widened from about 10 to 22 points. SchoolDigger ranked Roosevelt 2,255th of 2,703 statewide, at the 17th percentile with 1 star; Oakland Unified also has 1 star and is at the 26th percentile. In 2024–25, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 15.2:1, and 97% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well Roosevelt serves special education students fell sharply, from the 28th percentile in 2023–24 to the 1st percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 17th percentile.
