This school is awesome. The teachers are fun and cool but they get the job done. You learn something everyday an hve fun doing it. they are only hard on you if you dont listen. If you just act right you'll be great. evry year the sixth graders go on a three day camping trip. In 8th you hve a lot of awsome fieldtrips. (if ur good) And, there is always a district wide walk a thon to help certain fundraisers. such as supporting diabetes, cancer and other causes. The only thing id complain about is the people. Its mainly whites-- italians to be specific. Im not trying to but racist but they can really get at you sometimes. Make sure you get involved with the right people. Thers like 20 blacks and 30 hispanics. u get used to it. Ive gone since 1st grade all through to 8th. im graduating this year. Im really excited to graduate with the people ive known all my life. If you go to roosevelt i can almost garentee ull hve the time of your life! :) Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
