Summary

Roosevelt Middle serves 657 students in grades 6–8 in San Francisco. 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. Compared with the average of the eight nearby schools, Roosevelt was ahead by 27 percentage points in ELA, 23 in math, and 26 in science. 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.

Results have improved over four years, especially in science: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 4 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 15 in science. 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.
