Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 345 students in grades PK-5 in Broadview, Illinois. It is part of the Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview 89 school district, which is ranked 610 out of 811 districts in the state.

Academically, Roosevelt Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, 53.8% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and 31.3% were proficient or better in Math, outperforming the district but underperforming the state. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates ranging from 30.4% to 53.8% in ELA and 31% to 31.3% in Math over the past few years. The school ranks in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for African American students in ELA and the top 35% for Hispanic students in ELA, but struggles with its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations.

Attendance is a concern, as Roosevelt Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 30.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's spending per student has increased from $12,997 in 2020-2021 to $20,342 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average. When compared to nearby schools, Roosevelt appears to be performing better academically than some of its peers, such as Melrose Park Elementary and Emerson Elementary, but still lags behind higher-performing schools in the area, like Washington Dual Language Academy and Lindop Elementary.
