Roosevelt High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with rankings ranging from 942 to 1164 out of over 1,200 schools. The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 71.1% and 84.3% in recent years, which is below the state average. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 31.5% to 52% in the past few years. Across various Regents exams, Roosevelt High School consistently scores well below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points lower.

When comparing Roosevelt High School to nearby high schools, such as Wantagh Senior High School, John F Kennedy High School, and East Meadow High School, it becomes evident that Roosevelt High School is significantly underperforming its peers. These nearby schools have much higher statewide rankings, graduation rates, and Regents exam proficiency rates. While the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and low funding (spending per student around $20,000) may be contributing factors, there is an opportunity for Roosevelt High School to improve its performance and outcomes for students by addressing the root causes of its challenges.
