Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 249 students. The school is part of the Scottsbluff Public Schools district, which is ranked 105 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, Roosevelt Elementary School has consistently struggled to provide a high-quality education to its students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. This is reflected in the school's consistently low test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, which are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 39.13% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 59.61% for the district and 55.79% for the state.

Compared to the nearby Longfellow Elementary School and Lincoln Heights Elementary School, both of which are part of the Scottsbluff Public Schools district, Roosevelt Elementary School generally performs worse on key metrics such as test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it is allocating its resources and consider implementing more targeted interventions or strategies to support student learning and address the challenges it is facing.
