Summary
Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school in Lubbock, Texas, serving 501 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Roosevelt Independent School District, which is ranked 613 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite increased per-student spending, Roosevelt Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science proficiency across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade STAAR Reading proficiency was 45.07% compared to the state average of 57.83%. The school's performance has been stagnant, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 2,635 and 4,107 out of around 4,600 Texas elementary schools over the past decade. Certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, have particularly low performance, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools.
Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Harwell Elementary, Cathelene Thomas Elementary, and Idalou Elementary, generally outperform Roosevelt Elementary in academic proficiency, despite serving similar or higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the performance differences. Additionally, while Roosevelt Elementary's overall performance is low, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools for ELL students in 2023-2024, indicating that the school may be providing effective support and interventions for this population.
