Summary

Roosevelt High School - 03 is a grades 9–12 school with 1,785 students in Sioux Falls, part of the Sioux Falls School District 49-5. Its results vary by subject, but the most important concern is that its 2025–2026 11th-grade ACT scores were below both state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics and Science.

Earlier all-grades results show that ELA and Science were strengths compared with the state and district, while Mathematics lagged. In 2024–2025, Roosevelt had 63% proficiency in ELA—12 percentage points above the state and 14 above the district—and 54% in Science, 10 and 9 points higher, respectively. Its Mathematics proficiency was 33%, 11 points below the state and 10 below the district. On the latest ACT, its scores were 45% in ELA, 32% in Mathematics and 43% in Science; compared with the state, they were lower by 4, 2 and 2 points, respectively. Roosevelt scored higher than nearby Jefferson High School - 67 by 6 points in ELA and 2 points in each other subject, but trailed Tea Area High School - 03 by 12, 14 and 21 points.

SchoolDigger’s overall rating fell from the 58th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 35th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026; Roosevelt now ranks 84th of 130 schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.8, and 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Hispanic students fell to the 0th percentile in 2025–2026, from the 38th percentile the prior year and 65th in 2023–2024—a particularly weak relative standing for how the school serves this group. Its Multi-racial Students ranking was also below the overall ranking, at the 17th percentile versus 35th. These subgroup rankings compare schools serving the same student group, rather than comparing students with one another.
