Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 338 students. The school is part of the Ridgefield Park Public School District, which is ranked 308 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roosevelt Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 903 out of 1,360 New Jersey elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 628 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating. The school's performance on NJSLA assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. However, its performance in mathematics is more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. The school has shown strong performance among its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups, but its performance for its White and special education student subgroups is less strong.

One area of concern for Roosevelt Elementary School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2023-2024 to 18.8% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has increased from 31.29% in 2021-2022 to 41.42% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. When compared to higher-performing schools outside the district, such as Anna C. Scott Elementary School in Leonia and Teaneck Community Charter School, Roosevelt Elementary School's performance lags behind, particularly in mathematics.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Friday, October 19, 2018

Both Speech as well as ESL rooms need to be emptied of old furniture and other items because the clutter has prohibited two teachers to conduct classes within their respective environments. These services are particularly necessary to an institution that houses about 57 percent Latino students who come from bilingual backgrounds. The Hispanic population has grown and services must be made available if better test scores are expected. Shame, shame, shame..... Close Quote
