Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 529 students in the Pomona Unified School District, located in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency in English and math well below both district and state averages; however, it shows a notable strength in science, where it outperforms the district. Performance varies dramatically between grade levels, with some grades performing much better than others. While chronic absenteeism is higher than average, the school has made impressive progress in reducing it over the last few years. A key finding is the stark contrast with nearby Cortez Elementary, which serves a very similar student population but achieves significantly higher academic results and has lower absenteeism, suggesting different approaches can lead to different outcomes even in similar settings.

Despite overall academic struggles, Roosevelt demonstrates particular effectiveness in supporting its most vulnerable students, ranking much higher for homeless, special education, and English learner students than it does overall. This indicates the school has developed strong support systems for these groups. The school spends less per student than some higher-performing neighbors like Westmont Elementary, raising questions about how resources are allocated. In summary, Roosevelt is a school with clear challenges but also identifiable strengths, especially in science and supporting specific student subgroups.
