Summary

Roosevelt High School in Wyandotte, MI, serves approximately 1,236 students in grades 9-12 within the Wyandotte School District of the City of, located in the Downriver Detroit area.

If you're looking at Roosevelt, the most encouraging news is its graduation rate. At 95.3%, it significantly outpaces the state average of 84.0% and rivals top-performing neighbors like Trenton High School (97.6%) and Riverview Community High School (97.5%). The dropout rate is also exceptionally low at just 2.4%, less than half the state average. This tells you the school is very effective at keeping students engaged and on track to earn a diploma. However, there's a notable gap between graduating students and ensuring they hit college-ready benchmarks. While reading and writing scores (49.4% proficient) are close to the state average, math proficiency is a significant weakness—only 17.6% of 11th graders are proficient, compared to 26.5% statewide. This math gap is consistent across all grade levels.

Another area to watch is chronic absenteeism. At 33.0%, it's higher than the state average (27.9%) and well above Trenton's 20.9%, though it has improved dramatically from a peak of 43.9% a few years ago. On a positive note, the school spends a substantial $16,181 per student—more than higher-performing neighbors like Trenton ($13,690) and Riverview ($12,747)—yet outcomes don't fully reflect that investment. Compared to socioeconomically similar schools, Roosevelt performs better than Lincoln Park High School, which has a much lower graduation rate (86.4%) and far lower math scores (6.9% proficient). Overall, Roosevelt offers a stable, supportive environment that excels at graduating students, but families should be aware that extra math support may be needed to ensure college and career readiness.
