Summary

Franklin D Roosevelt Elementary is a PK-5 school in Laredo, TX, serving 612 students within the United Independent School District (Isd), where over 95% of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds. This school stands out for its exceptional ability to support students facing economic challenges, ranking in the top 10% statewide for this group—a feat that far surpasses nearby peers like Prada Elementary and John W Arndt Elementary. However, its overall state ranking has dipped to the 53rd percentile (3 stars) after reaching a high of the 67th percentile, signaling some inconsistency.

A bright spot is 5th-grade math, where Roosevelt’s proficiency rate of 56.38% is the highest among its UISD peers and exceeds both the district and state averages. This is unique, as nearby schools like Rodolfo C Centeno Elementary and Sigifredo Perez Elementary do not show the same strength. Yet, this success doesn’t extend to lower grades, where 3rd and 4th-grade math lags behind the district. Science is a universal weakness across the area, with Roosevelt’s 5th-grade science proficiency at 27.47%, below the state average. Meanwhile, schools in the neighboring Laredo Independent School District (Isd), such as H B Zachry Elementary and J Kawas Elementary, achieve much higher overall rankings, showing that high performance is possible in this context.

Two major concerns require attention. First, support for Special Education students has plummeted from a stellar 92nd percentile to the 31st percentile in just one year—a dramatic drop that parents should investigate. Second, performance for Gifted and Talented students has been volatile, falling to the bottom 10% recently. Despite these challenges, Roosevelt’s proven ability to help low-income students succeed and its standout 5th-grade math program offer hope. The school’s overall trajectory shows a strong recovery from pandemic-era lows, suggesting it can bounce back with focused effort on consistency across all programs.
