Summary

Roosevelt High School is a large public school serving grades 9–12, with 1,542 students, in Seattle’s northeast area near several other well-regarded high schools. Part of the Seattle School District No. 1, Roosevelt ranked 21st out of 396 Washington high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 95th percentile and earning a five-star rating. It is one of Seattle’s strongest large comprehensive high schools, although Lincoln High School currently ranks higher overall.

Roosevelt’s clearest strengths are English language arts and student persistence. In 2025–2026, 87.76% of students were proficient in ELA, well above both district and state averages. Its result was below Ballard High School and Lincoln, but above Garfield High School, Ingraham High School, Shorecrest High School, and Nathan Hale High School. The 94.1% graduation rate and 2.8% dropout rate are also strong, with only Lincoln posting better results among the larger nearby schools. ELA performance has stayed close to 88% for four consecutive years, suggesting a consistent schoolwide strength.

Math is the main area parents may want to monitor. Roosevelt’s 61.13% math proficiency rate was well above Washington’s 43.11% but only slightly above the district average and substantially below Lincoln’s 76.89% and Ballard’s 73.14%. Science was stronger at 73.14%, though results have fluctuated from year to year. Roosevelt also ranked highly for several reported student groups, including students receiving special education services, while its lower socioeconomic status subgroup results declined from the prior year and merit further attention. Overall, Roosevelt offers strong academics, graduation outcomes, and a broad comprehensive-school experience, with math improvement and continued equity efforts as important priorities.
