Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 565 students in grades PK-5 in Nampa, Idaho, which is part of the Nampa School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Idaho elementary schools over the past decade and currently ranking 306 out of 337 schools.

One of the key issues at Roosevelt Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15% to 24.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28.9% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 43.1% statewide, and only 39.7% were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.9% statewide. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male and Hispanic students, as well as those from low-income families.

When comparing Roosevelt Elementary to other nearby schools in the Nampa School District, such as Owyhee Elementary, it consistently underperforms across nearly all academic metrics, including higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that Roosevelt Elementary may need significant intervention and support to address its ongoing challenges and improve outcomes for all students.
