Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a public Pre-K through 6th-grade school in the Spokane School District, serving about 402 students and demonstrating a strong, consistent record of academic achievement.

Academically, Roosevelt consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in English, Math, and Science, with Science being a particular strength. What makes this performance notable is that the school achieves these results while serving a student population where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a common indicator of economic need. This stands out in comparison to other schools in the area, where higher poverty levels often correlate with lower test scores. For instance, Roosevelt performs significantly better than nearby Grant Elementary and Garfield Elementary, which have higher poverty rates. The school has also shown impressive, consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the last decade, rising to the 71st percentile, while some neighboring schools like Jefferson Elementary and Franklin Elementary have seen recent declines.

Roosevelt is also distinguished by its effective support for students in special education, where its ranking for this subgroup has improved dramatically in recent years. The school operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio and achieves its strong outcomes with lower per-student spending than several comparable schools, suggesting efficient use of resources. While it doesn't match the exceptional scores of the district's very highest-performing schools like Wilson Elementary or Libby Center, Roosevelt represents a case of a school delivering reliable, high-quality education to a diverse community.
