Summary

Franklin D Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 160 students in grades PK-5 in North Arlington, New Jersey. The school is part of the North Arlington School District, which is ranked 290 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin D Roosevelt Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and the state in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across grades 3-5, with a 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 61.9% in 2024-2025 compared to the district's 63.7% and the state's 52.7%. However, the school's mathematics and science performance is more mixed, with 4th and 5th-grade math proficiency rates lagging behind the district and the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate significantly lower than the district and state. The school's low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% of New Jersey elementary schools for this subgroup in 2023-2024.

Compared to the nearby George Washington Elementary School, Franklin D Roosevelt Elementary School generally outperforms in student achievement, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending. However, the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent attendance, with its chronic absenteeism rate fluctuating significantly. Additionally, the school's white student population performs significantly worse than its Hispanic student population, an area that the school and district should investigate further to understand the root causes and implement targeted interventions.
