Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K-4 school serving 561 students in the Tulare City School District, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English and math well below both the district and state averages; for example, only about 20% of students are proficient in math compared to 37% statewide. When compared to nearby schools like Alpine Vista or Pleasant Elementary, which have proficiency rates nearly twice as high, the performance gap is clear. However, a major bright spot is the school's dramatic improvement in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from over 42% to just 11.5% in three years, which is now better than the district average and many higher-performing peers such as Garden Elementary.

The school receives substantial funding per student, more than several surrounding schools, and shows relative strength in supporting its English Language Learner students. While test scores have historically been low, recent years show slight improvement, and the impressive attendance turnaround provides a strong foundation for future growth. The school's most immediate academic challenge appears to be in upper-grade math, where proficiency drops sharply between third and fourth grade.
