Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Port Huron, MI, serving 270 students within the Port Huron Area School District, where a large majority of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Roosevelt currently ranks in the bottom 4% of Michigan elementary schools, and its state test scores are consistently well below district and state averages. For example, only about 7% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to a 27.5% district average. Math scores tell a similar story, with just 7% of 3rd graders proficient versus a 27.9% district average. This gap of roughly 20 percentage points appears across nearly every grade and subject. The school spends a significant amount per student ($18,013), which is higher than some higher-performing schools in the district, yet that investment hasn't translated into academic gains. A nearby charter, East Shore Leadership Academy, serves a similarly high-poverty population but achieves notably better results—for instance, 29% of its 4th graders were proficient in ELA compared to Roosevelt's 7.5%.

There are some encouraging signs. In the 2023-2024 school year, 5th-grade ELA proficiency reached 41.5%, actually surpassing the district average—proof that success is possible. Chronic absenteeism, a major challenge, has dropped dramatically from 56.1% in 2021-2022 to 29.0% in 2024-2025, showing that efforts to get kids to school are working. However, that rate is still higher than the state average and far above high-performing peers like Edison Elementary (10.6%) and Morton Elementary (16.9%). The contrast with Edison, just a few miles away, is stark—Edison serves a more affluent population and ranks in the top 23% of schools statewide. For parents considering Roosevelt, it's important to know the school faces real challenges, but the improving attendance and past pockets of success suggest a foundation for future growth.
