Summary

Roosevelt High School is a public high school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 1,177 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois high schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.7% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to 40.1% for the district and 51.7% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 6.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, compared to 25.3% for the district and 39.3% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 74.3% and 89.0%, and its dropout rate has ranged from 2.4% to 7.9% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Schurz High School, Mather High School, and Lane Technical High School, Roosevelt High School generally underperforms academically, with lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and its location in a high-poverty area may contribute to the challenges it faces, and its low spending per student compared to some of the higher-performing nearby schools may also be a factor in its academic struggles.
