Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 272 students in grades K-6 in Belleville, Illinois. It is part of the Belleville School District 118, which is ranked 550 out of 811 school districts in the state.

Roosevelt Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with 56.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 44% in math, compared to 51.4% and 28.6% for the district, and 53.1% and 38.5% for the state, respectively. The school also stands out for its strong performance among African American and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 103 out of 688 Illinois elementary schools and 363 out of 1,800, respectively, earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. When compared to other elementary schools in the district, such as Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Douglas Elementary, and Franklin Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math.

While Roosevelt Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the years, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 31.1% in recent years, is an area of concern that the school and district should continue to address. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,190 to $18,612 in recent years, is also noteworthy, as it suggests a strong investment in the academic program and student support services.
