Summary:
In zip code 79403 (Lubbock, TX), there is one middle school, Roosevelt J H, serving grades 6-8 as part of the Roosevelt Independent School District (Isd), with 287 students and a high percentage (77.35%) eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Roosevelt J H is a school of contrasts, showing notable strengths in some areas while facing clear challenges in others. The most compelling finding is in 8th Grade Mathematics, where proficiency (50.98%) exceeds the state average (47.24%), a dramatic improvement from 7th grade math (10.29% vs. state 29.41%). This suggests a highly effective 8th-grade math program worth investigating. However, 6th and 7th grade math proficiency is significantly below state averages, and reading proficiency is consistently below state averages across all grades. The school has maintained a stable 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the 34th to 39th percentile statewide over the last three years, indicating consistent but below-average overall performance.
Despite a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1 and above-average per-student spending of $10,956, overall academic performance remains below state averages, raising questions about resource deployment. Social Studies is a relative strength (33.33% vs. state 31.69%), while Science is a clear weakness (39.58% vs. state 46.25%). The school's stability in a challenging environment is notable, but breaking the plateau will require targeted efforts, particularly building a strong math foundation in 6th and 7th grade while leveraging the successful 8th-grade math model.
