Summary

Theodore Roosevelt School is an elementary school located in Weehawken, New Jersey, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 328 students. The school is part of the Weehawken Public School District, which is ranked 380 out of 609 districts in the state.

Theodore Roosevelt School has shown mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 459 to 918 out of 1,317 to 1,360 New Jersey elementary schools. While the school performs better than the state average in English Language Arts across all grades, its Mathematics proficiency rates are consistently lower. Compared to the district, the school's performance is generally on par. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.8 to 8.4, which is lower than nearby Daniel Webster School and other schools in the area.

One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 23.5%, which is higher than the nearby Daniel Webster School and other schools in the Union City and West New York districts. Additionally, the school has a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 25.61% to 42.36% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby Daniel Webster School but lower than the rates in the Union City and West New York districts.
