For 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranks it 83rd of 1,331 New Jersey schools, at the 94th percentile and five stars. Results are well above state averages across every tested grade and subject, but performance varies by grade. Fifth grade is the clearest achievement strength: Roosevelt outperformed the state, its district, and nearby-school averages in ELA, math, and science.

Fifth grade is also where Roosevelt most clearly stands out locally: its proficiency rates were 85% in ELA, 83% in math, and 58% in science, respectively 16, 22, and 20 percentage points above nearby-school averages. 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.

Over the four years shown, Roosevelt remained well above the state, though its advantage narrowed: the state gap declined from 32 to 28 points in ELA, 36 to 31 in math, and 36 to 30 in science. Recent changes were uneven: fourth-grade ELA fell 15 points and sixth-grade ELA 11 points from 2024–25, while fifth-grade math rose 12 points. SchoolDigger also ranks the district 36th of 607, at the 94th percentile and five stars. Roosevelt’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.8, compared with a nearby-school average of 12.6.

Open Quote No anti-bullying policy actually taking place in this school. If kids are bullying your child you won’t get help from school administration, neither classroom teacher nor principal. Parents of those kids are also ignorant and don’t listen. Principal doesn’t keep his promise to place your child apart from bullies for the next year and states “he is not a psychologist” to talk to a bullies’ parents. Our family had to pay for private school because he didn’t keep his promise and said that “there is nothing can be done at this point”. Even though it was clearly his fault. Absolutely unprofessional and indifferent school staff with few exceptions within teachers. We had to move out of town because of this traumatic experience. Few years later and my child is still not recovered from the psychological damage that was don by his classmates. Shame on you, Roosevelt school! Close Quote
