Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 263 students in grades K-5 in Ponca City, Oklahoma. The school faces some challenges, including relatively low test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and high chronic absenteeism rates, but also shows some strengths, particularly in mathematics performance.

While Roosevelt Elementary generally performs better than the Ponca City and Oklahoma state averages in mathematics, with 41% of students proficient or better, its ELA proficiency rates lag behind at only 22% proficient or better, compared to 24% for Ponca City and 26% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.42% to 89.35% in recent years, indicating a large proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Interestingly, Roosevelt Elementary's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform relatively well, ranking 130 out of 502 Oklahoma elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2024-2025 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, Roosevelt Elementary performs better than some, like Lincoln and Garfield, in mathematics and science, but lags behind higher-performing schools like E.M. Trout and Woodlands Elementary in both ELA and mathematics proficiency. The school's spending per student ($7,385 in 2018-2019) is also lower than some nearby schools, which may contribute to its relatively lower performance.
