Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 365 students in the San Gabriel Unified district, operating in a high-need environment where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school has faced challenges, with proficiency rates in English and math below the district average and those of most nearby schools like Washington Elementary and McKinley Elementary. However, the most recent year shows very promising improvement, with the school's statewide ranking jumping significantly and chronic absenteeism dropping dramatically. The school also spends more per student than others in the district, indicating targeted resources to support its students.

When compared to schools with similar student populations, such as Dewey Avenue Elementary, Roosevelt's performance is comparable. The data shows the school is making strong recent progress, with notable gains in science and for economically disadvantaged students, suggesting new strategies are having a positive effect, though work remains to reach the performance levels of other schools in the San Gabriel Unified district.
