Summary
Roosevelt Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving about 500 students in Monticello, Indiana, part of Twin Lakes School Corp. In 2025–2026 it ranked 230th of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 53rd percentile with 3 stars — while its district placed 224th of 374 (40th percentile, 2 stars), making Roosevelt a relative bright spot within its own district. The school peaked at 106th of 483 (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2020–2021 and has since slipped back to the mid-50s percentile.
Compared with nearby middle schools, Roosevelt sits in the middle of the pack. East Tipp Middle School (91st percentile, 5 stars) and Battle Ground Middle School (95th percentile, 5 stars) score roughly 21 to 29 percentage points higher in English, math, and science, and they serve far fewer students from low-income families (23.95% and 32.44% free/reduced lunch, versus Roosevelt's 57.2%). Roosevelt does outperform Delphi Community Middle School (46th percentile, 2 stars) and North White Middle School (8th percentile, 0 stars) overall. Roosevelt spends the most of any of these schools — $12,931 per student — and has one of the lowest student/teacher ratios at 12.9, but those resources have not translated into top-tier proficiency.
On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, 38.1% of Roosevelt students were proficient in English language arts, 30.95% in math, and 36.36% in science — above the district in ELA (34.76%) but below it in math (34.36%) and science (37.81%). The school trails Indiana averages in every reported grade and subject. Its strongest result is 8th grade ELA, just 1.47 points below the state, while 8th grade math is the clear weak spot at 25.86% proficiency, 8.34 points below the state; 7th grade ELA is 7.15 points below. Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern: 16.1% in 2024–2025, up from 13.0% two years earlier, slightly above the district's 16.0% and well above Delphi (2.6%), East Tipp (5.9%), and Battle Ground (7.7%). The low-income student share fell to 57.2%, down nearly 10 points since 2022–2023.
