Summary

Franklin D. Roosevelt is an alternative public school in Cleveland, Ohio that serves grades PK-10 with a total enrollment of 372 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 675 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin D. Roosevelt faces significant challenges, particularly around chronic absenteeism and academic achievement. The school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 51.5% to 64.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the Cleveland Municipal district average of around 30-35% and the state average of around 15-20%. Additionally, Franklin D. Roosevelt students perform poorly on state assessments compared to the district and state, with only 7.3% of 3rd graders proficient in math in 2024-2025, compared to 35% for the district and 64.4% for the state.

While Franklin D. Roosevelt shares many similarities with the other alternative schools in the Cleveland Municipal district, it generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. The school's low student-teacher ratio and spending levels per student do not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just resources, such as curriculum, instruction, and school culture, may be contributing to the poor performance. Addressing the issues around chronic absenteeism and academic achievement should be a top priority for the school and district leadership.
