Summary:
The Roosevelt Independent School District (Isd) in Lubbock, TX, operates a single middle school, Roosevelt J H, serving grades 6 through 8 with a current enrollment of 287 students. The school serves a community where 77.35% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1 with per-student spending of $10,956.
Roosevelt J H shows a mixed academic profile when compared to state averages. The standout performance is in 8th Grade Math, where 50.98% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, exceeding the state average by 3.74 percentage points. The school also consistently outperforms the state in 8th Grade Social Studies, with a lead of +4.74 points in 2024-2025 and +1.64 points in 2025-2026. However, Reading is a systemic weakness, with the school falling below the state average in every grade and year, most notably in 7th Grade Reading where the 33.33% proficiency rate was 18.36 points below the state average in 2024-2025. Math performance varies dramatically by grade: while 8th graders excel, 7th graders struggle significantly, with only 10.29% proficient in 2025-2026, a gap of 19.12 points below the state.
Despite above-average resources, the school ranks in the bottom 40% of Texas schools, holding a stable state ranking between the 34th and 39th percentile over three years. The dropout rate is 0.0%, compared to the district's 0.3%. The stark contrast between strong 8th-grade math and social studies performance versus weak reading and lower-grade math suggests that resource effectiveness, rather than resource levels, may be the key issue. The school's consistent social studies success offers a potential model for improvement in other subjects, while the persistent reading gap remains the most critical area for district focus.
