Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a public PK–6 school in Spokane, Washington, serving 402 students in a diverse community and earning a 66th-percentile statewide ranking—above the midpoint for Washington schools.

Roosevelt is part of Spokane School District, which ranks at the 50th percentile statewide. The school performs above both district and state averages in all three tested subjects: 57.37% of students are proficient in English language arts, 47.64% in math, and 70.00% in science. Science is the clearest strength, with results well above the district’s 48.27% and the state’s 50.95%. Roosevelt also compares favorably with nearby Franklin Elementary, which serves a very similar share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Roosevelt’s ELA and science results are higher than Franklin’s, although Franklin is slightly stronger in math.

The main concern is math. Roosevelt’s math proficiency has fallen from 58.20% in 2023–24 to 47.64% in 2025–26, and fourth grade is the weakest tested grade in both ELA and math. The school trails higher-performing nearby schools such as Wilson Elementary, Hutton Elementary, Hamblen Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary, particularly in math. Still, Roosevelt has improved substantially over the past decade, offers relatively favorable student-teacher staffing, and shows generally consistent outcomes across major student groups. Overall, it appears to be a solid, above-average school with notably strong science performance and math as the clearest opportunity for improvement.
