Compared with the state, the school was ahead in every tested grade and subject, by 22.3 to 37.8 percentage points. Its district comparisons are more mixed: Roosevelt exceeded district results in all three fifth-grade subjects, but sixth-grade math was 4 points below the nearby average and 3 points below the district. Fourth-grade ELA and math also trailed the district, although both were above nearby schools and the state. Sixth-grade ELA was about level with nearby peers.
