Summary

Roosevelt Middle School in West Palm Beach, FL, is a public school serving 793 students in grades 6-8 within the Palm Beach district, where 73.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Roosevelt is a school of stark contrasts. Its advanced math program is a standout success, with 85% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 87% in Geometry—far exceeding district and state averages. However, the school struggles significantly in core subjects: only about half of students are proficient in English Language Arts, and just 40% of 8th graders are proficient in science. This creates a "two schools" paradox, where excellence in advanced math doesn't translate to broader academic success. The school invests heavily in staffing, spending $16,580 per student with a low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, but this hasn't yet lifted performance across the board. Chronic absenteeism remains a major challenge at 23.5%, likely driving the low scores in reading and science.

Compared to nearby schools, Roosevelt's performance is mixed. It dramatically underperforms the elite Bak Middle School Of The Arts (a magnet school with near-100% proficiency), highlighting the achievement gap between selective and neighborhood schools. Yet, Roosevelt outperforms the charter Sports Leadership And Management (Slam) Middle School Palm in several areas, including 8th-grade math (61% vs. 31%), suggesting its higher spending and smaller classes provide a real benefit. A puzzling trend is the sharp drop in math proficiency from 6th to 7th grade, which warrants attention. For parents, Roosevelt offers a strong advanced math track but requires support for students in reading, science, and regular math.
