Summary

Roosevelt Elementary serves 420 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Hays, a community in northwestern Kansas. In 2025–26, students’ proficiency rates were 54% in English language arts (ELA), 43% in math, and 42% in science—above Kansas rates in all three subjects. The most important comparison is that Roosevelt’s results were below the four nearby schools’ average in every subject, with the largest gap in math.

ELA is Roosevelt’s strongest subject overall: its rate was 8 percentage points above Kansas, essentially level with the Hays district, and 7 points below the nearby-school average. Science was 4 points above Kansas and 3 above the district, but 8 below nearby schools. Math is the clearest weakness: Roosevelt was 2 points above Kansas but 6 below the district and 14 below nearby schools. Grade 4 ELA is a particular concern, at 43% compared with 50% statewide and 59% at nearby schools; grade 5 math is a relative bright spot, at 49% versus 45% statewide. Nearby-school averages include four schools, two outside the Hays district.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 8 percentage points, math fell 3, and science rose 1. Math dropped 9 points in the latest year alone, from 52% to 43%. SchoolDigger ranks Roosevelt at the 50th percentile with 3 stars, the lowest percentile among these nearby schools; its percentile fell 18 points from 2021–22. Roosevelt is the largest nearby school, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.7 is also the highest; its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 41%, close to the nearby average. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings point to stronger results for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 75th percentile compared with 50th overall. Its Hispanic Students ranking rose from the 50th percentile in 2024–25 to the 69th in 2025–26, while the overall percentile fell.
