Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a PK–6 school in the Dayton City district in Dayton, OH, with 414 students. It ranks 1460 of 1560 Ohio schools (6th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025‑26, bottom tier statewide. The school improved from the 1st–2nd percentile a decade ago to an 11th percentile peak in 2022–24, but has since slipped to 6th. Its clearest success is chronic absenteeism, which fell from 59.9% in 2021‑22 to 41.4% in 2025‑26—now 2.4 points better than Dayton City and the only achievement-adjacent metric where it outperforms the district. Only Belle Haven Elementary School (24.2%) is clearly stronger on attendance among nearby Dayton City elementaries.

Academically, 3rd grade English language arts is the bright spot: 45.5% proficient, beating the district by 7.4 points and outpacing every nearby Dayton City elementary except Louise Troy Elementary School and Belle Haven Elementary School. Science is the opposite: only 11.4% of 5th graders are proficient, versus 21.6% in the district and 62.7% statewide, and every nearby elementary does better. Grades 4 and 6 are also weak. For comparison, Belle Haven Elementary School (17th percentile, 1 star) achieves 66.2% proficiency in 6th grade math, while Deca Prep, a nearby charter, ranks 32nd percentile (2 stars) with higher proficiency in every grade 3–6 subject and spends about $3,700 less per pupil.

Other patterns matter for families. Subgroup results are uneven: special education students rank above the school-wide average, and female students consistently outperform male students. The student–teacher ratio rose from 14.1 to 17.2 over two years, though it remains favorable among Dayton City elementaries. Per-pupil spending was $11,813 in 2018‑19, second highest among nearby schools, yet outcomes are not near the top. The school's results are volatile by grade—strong early literacy, sharp falloff by grades 4–6—suggesting a transition or retention problem. The school is 3rd of 6 among nearby Dayton City elementaries, and nearby charters offer a wider range of options. Science may be the highest-leverage intervention given its large gap.
