Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jamestown, North Dakota, serving 211 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jamestown 1 school district, which is ranked 74 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Roosevelt Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 30th out of 202 North Dakota elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 152nd out of 216 in 2024-2025, its academic performance is generally below the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, only 39% of students were proficient or better in Math and 28% in Reading, compared to 44% and 43% for the Jamestown 1 district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th-grade Math and Reading, with only 29% proficiency in both subjects. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15% in 2022-2023 to 20% in 2024-2025.

Compared to other schools in the Jamestown 1 district, Roosevelt Elementary's performance is generally lower, particularly when compared to William S Gussner Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state. However, Montpelier Elementary School, which is in a different district, has shown more consistent performance over the years, with a 5-star rating in 2015-2016, despite serving a higher percentage of low-income students. While Roosevelt Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes for its students, suggesting that addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance, such as poverty and attendance, may be crucial for improving the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Roosevelt Elementary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
