Summary:
The 50312 zip code in Des Moines, Iowa is home to a single public high school, Roosevelt High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school's academic performance is generally higher than the overall Des Moines Independent Community School District, it still faces challenges in terms of its statewide ranking and student outcomes.
Roosevelt High School has an enrollment of 2,039 students and a student-teacher ratio of 30.5 to 1. The school's four-year graduation rate is 88.3%, and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are above the district averages but below the state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is a concern and may be impacting student achievement. Additionally, nearly half (47.92%) of Roosevelt High School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged population.
Despite these challenges, Roosevelt High School appears to be performing better academically than the overall Des Moines Independent Community School District, with higher proficiency rates in core subjects. However, the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking between 269-290 out of 336-340 Iowa high schools suggest there is still room for improvement. Addressing attendance issues, providing additional student support, and optimizing resource allocation may be areas of focus for the school to enhance student outcomes.
