Summary

Horace Mann Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fargo, North Dakota, serving 350 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Fargo 1 School District, which is ranked 104 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horace Mann Roosevelt Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Fargo 1 district and the state of North Dakota in academic proficiency, with only 44% of students proficient in math, 40.5% in reading, and 29% in science in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 34% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as African American students, performing relatively well, while others, like male students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, have consistently underperformed.

When compared to nearby schools within the Fargo 1 district, Horace Mann Roosevelt Elementary School generally underperforms. For example, Longfellow Elementary School, located about 2 miles away, consistently outperforms Horace Mann Roosevelt in academic proficiency rates and has a much higher statewide ranking. The relatively high spending per student at Horace Mann Roosevelt Elementary School, ranging from $15,121 to $17,395 over the past few years, does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

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.
