Math (72.0%) and reading (62.2%) also beat district and state averages. Bridges Community Elementary ranks higher overall (66th) and posts stronger math and reading, while Eagle Lake and Washington Elementary edge Roosevelt in math.

Grade-level results are uneven: 3rd grade math (81.5%) and 5th grade science (42.9%) are the high points, while 4th grade math (55.8%) and reading (53.5%) fall below district averages, though both remain above state averages. The school's results with specific student groups stand out — low-income students rank in the 95th percentile and African American students in the 97th percentile statewide.
