Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a high-performing K-5 public school serving 524 students in the San Leandro Unified district, consistently ranking well above average statewide.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, significantly outperforming both its own district and the state in English, math, and science. For example, Roosevelt's English proficiency rate is over 20 points higher than the San Leandro Unified average and notably surpasses nearby schools like Jefferson Elementary and McKinley Elementary.

While it is a star within its district, the school shows some variation in performance between grade levels, with fifth graders excelling in English and third graders doing very well in math. Its ability to deliver such strong outcomes makes it a compelling choice for families in the area.
