Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 385 students in a high-poverty area, where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional performance with specific student groups, achieving a 4-star ranking in the 88th percentile for African American students and a 78th percentile for low socio-economic status students—far exceeding its overall 59th percentile state rank. Remarkably, Roosevelt accomplishes this while spending just $9,874 per student, the lowest among nearby schools like Looscan Elementary ($12,054) and Burrus Elementary ($11,762), suggesting strong operational efficiency.

A unique pattern emerges in mathematics: 3rd-grade math is a critical weakness, with only 29.41% of students proficient in 2025-2026, well below district and state averages. However, the school excels in upper-grade math, with 59.62% of 4th graders and 52.46% of 5th graders proficient—both exceeding district and state averages. This dramatic turnaround indicates effective remediation strategies that kick in after 3rd grade. Additionally, 5th-grade science is a hidden gem, with 45% proficiency in 2024-2025, nearly double the district (24.95%) and state (29.57%) averages, outperforming nearby schools where science scores often languish in the teens.

Roosevelt has shown consistent improvement over five years, climbing from the 48th percentile in 2021 to the 59th percentile in 2026. While Field Elementary is the academic star of the area with a 95th percentile rank, it serves a much less disadvantaged population (41.62% free/reduced lunch). Roosevelt’s achievements are more impressive given its high-poverty context, outperforming demographically similar neighbors like Herrera Elementary and Janowski Elementary while spending less. The school also shows a gender gap, with female students ranking in the 65th percentile versus 50th for males, suggesting a need for targeted support for boys.
