Summary

Roosevelt High is a public high school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 473 students. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 329 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt High consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 7.3% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 22% in the St. Louis City district and 45.4% statewide. The school also has low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 47.3% to 73.9% over the past few years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 7.2% to 22%. Additionally, Roosevelt High has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 50.1% to 78.1% in recent years, indicating a significant challenge with student engagement and attendance. Nearly all (99-100%) of the school's students come from low-income families and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other nearby public high schools, such as Collegiate School of Med/Bio, Central Visual/Perf. Arts High, Gateway High, and McKinley Classical Leadership Academy, Roosevelt High consistently performs worse on academic metrics, has lower graduation rates, and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the school's challenges, Roosevelt High spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $13,976 to $17,737 per student in recent years, suggesting that funding and resources may not be the primary driver of the school's poor performance.
