Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 78% in English language arts (ELA), 64% in math, and 65% in science, placing it among the city’s strongest nearby middle schools. Among eight nearby San Francisco Unified schools with comparable results, Roosevelt ranked second in all three subjects; Giannini (A.P.) Middle was the only school ahead in each.
Roosevelt’s results are well above nearby, district, and state benchmarks, with math its relative soft spot despite a strong score.

Its leads over state results were 29 points in ELA, 26 in math, and 29 in science; its leads over San Francisco Unified were 25, 19, and 22 points, respectively. Science was its strongest relative to the state, while ELA led against the district and nearby-school average.

Over the same period, the science gap over the state widened from 20 to 29 points. SchoolDigger gives Roosevelt a 5-star rating and places it at the 93rd percentile in 2025–2026; only Giannini scored higher nearby. In 2024–2025, Roosevelt reported 45% free/reduced lunch eligible, the third-lowest rate among 10 nearby schools with that measure, and had a 17.1:1 student-teacher ratio compared with the nearby average of 18.8:1. One notable subgroup result is that SchoolDigger placed Roosevelt at the 57th percentile for serving Asian students in 2025–2026, below its overall 93rd-percentile standing, though the subgroup ranking rose from the 50th percentile in 2023–2024.
