Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Zeeland, MI, serving 261 students as part of the high-performing Zeeland Public Schools district.

Roosevelt currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 67th percentile statewide, which places it below its district peers—most other Zeeland elementary schools rank in the 82nd to 91st percentile. This gap shows up clearly in test scores. For example, only 33.3% of Roosevelt 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to the district average of 56.9%. The school also serves a higher percentage of students from low-income families (42.5% qualify for free or reduced lunch) compared to schools like Adams Elementary School (19.8%) or Quincy Elementary School (22.4%). Chronic absenteeism is another major concern, with 24.8% of students missing school regularly—more than double the district average of 11.8%.

Despite these challenges, there are some bright spots. Roosevelt spends more per student ($21,185) than any other elementary school in its district and maintains a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio. The school also shows notable strengths: 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (60.6%) is close to the district average, and the school earns strong ratings for its Hispanic students and students from low-income backgrounds. Interestingly, nearby Los Lagos Bilingual Academy in the West Ottawa Public School District has a similar enrollment and poverty rate but jumped from the 46th to the 91st percentile in just one year, showing that rapid improvement is possible. For parents, Roosevelt is a school where extra resources are being invested, but addressing attendance and closing the achievement gap with its district peers remain key priorities.
