Over the past 10 years, Roosevelt Junior High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah middle schools, with its highest ranking being 132 out of 172 in 2017-2018. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, and it has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 31.9% over the past few years, which is well above the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 40.35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

While the school's overall performance is low, there are some inconsistencies in performance across grade levels, and the school's Hispanic student population ranks 46 out of 106 Utah middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the overall school ranking. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio (19:1 in 2023-2024) and low per-student spending ($8,239 in 2018-2019) may be contributing factors to the school's overall low performance, as it may indicate challenges in providing adequate resources and support for students.
