Summary

Roosevelt K-8 School is a Boston public school in Hyde Park, MA, serving 364 students in grades PK–8 — a wider grade span than most nearby Boston schools, which typically end at grade 6 or earlier. It is part of the Boston district, and its 2025–2026 statewide rank is 658th of 899 schools (27th percentile, 1 star).

In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 22.27% in ELA, 16.67% in math, and 15.87% in science, below the Boston district average in every subject and below the state by roughly 18 points in ELA and 24–25 points in math and science. Those all-grade figures hide a sharp split. Fifth grade is the clearest bright spot: ELA 40.91%, math 27.27%, and science 36.36% — at or above district averages in all three, and above the state in ELA. Grades 7 and 8 are the reverse: 7th-grade ELA 16.67% and math 7.14%, and 8th-grade ELA 7.32%, math 2.44%, science 4.88%, and civics 9.76%.

Roosevelt is not the lowest performer nearby — it outranks Chittick Elementary School (11th percentile), Channing Elementary School (7th), and Boston Renaissance Charter Public School (15th). But it trails Grew Elementary School, a same-district school under a mile away with 42.34% ELA, 48.65% math, and 57.89% science. Schools in the Dedham and Milton districts are further ahead: Oakdale, Tucker, and Greenlodge rank in the 78th–81st percentile. Resources do not obviously explain the gap: Roosevelt spent $28,022 per student with a 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio, more generous than several higher-performing neighbors. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven — Hispanic students ranked 52nd percentile and low-SES students 47th, while African American students ranked 20th and special education students 8th percentile in 2024–2025.
