Summary

T Roosevelt Elementary School serves 450 students in grades 3–6 in Cicero, Illinois. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear difference by subject: mathematics is comparatively close to the district, while English Language Arts (ELA) is the school’s biggest academic concern. ELA proficiency was 28%, 7 percentage points below the district and 28 points below the state.

Compared with nearby schools that reported all-grade results, T Roosevelt placed fifth of 10 in ELA and third of 10 in mathematics; nearby averages were 30% and 18%, respectively. Mathematics proficiency was 21%, just 1 point below the district’s 22%, but 19 points below the state’s 40%. Grade 5 science proficiency was 28%, compared with 30% in the district and 48% statewide. Nearby science results varied: T Roosevelt was close to Sherlock Elementary at 29%, above Woodrow Wilson Elementary School at 16%, and below Hughes C Elementary School at 53%. Within T Roosevelt, grade 5 mathematics was 17%, while grade 6 ELA was 30%—15 points below the district result for that grade.

Scores have improved from 2023–2024, but the state has improved faster: ELA rose from 20% to 28%, and mathematics from 16% to 21%, while the gaps with the state widened. Chronic absenteeism fell from 43% in 2021–2022 to 23% in 2025–2026, nearly matching the district and state. SchoolDigger places T Roosevelt in the 7th statewide percentile with 0 stars for 2025–2026, down from the 30th percentile in 2023–2024; Cicero School District 99 is in the 4th percentile with 0 stars.
