Summary

Roosevelt Elementary School in Yakima, Washington, serves approximately 455 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in the Yakima School District. The school serves an area with substantial economic need: 90.33% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Roosevelt’s latest statewide standing was 942nd out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 17th percentile with a one-star rating. That is an improvement over the school’s recent results in the 10th- to 11th-percentile range, although it remains below the state midpoint.

Roosevelt’s clearest academic strength is math. In 2025–2026, 27.75% of students were proficient in math, compared with 22.09% districtwide. The school also slightly exceeded district averages in English language arts and science, with proficiency rates of 33.63% and 33.33%, respectively. ELA improved by approximately 5.6 points from the prior year. Fourth grade stands out, with 37.50% proficiency in ELA and 30% in math, both stronger than district results. Third-grade math is a relative concern, while fifth-grade ELA and science results suggest a need for greater consistency. Compared with nearby traditional schools, Roosevelt is generally mid-pack: it trails Gilbert Elementary School, Nob Hill Elementary School, Robertson Elementary, and Whitney Elementary, but generally performs ahead of Barge-Lincoln Elementary School, Hoover Elementary School, Garfield Elementary School, and McClure Elementary School in several measures.

The school’s 15.6:1 student-teacher ratio is typical for nearby elementary schools. Roosevelt’s recent progress appears meaningful but incomplete: math has remained relatively steady, ELA has improved, and the overall ranking has recovered from its low point, but all three tested subjects remain well below Washington averages. Subgroup data show comparatively stronger statewide effectiveness rankings for Hispanic students, English learners, and students from low-income backgrounds; these figures describe performance relative to similar schools and should be interpreted cautiously. For local comparisons, Gilbert and Nob Hill are the strongest nearby benchmarks, while the K-8 Virtual School is less comparable because of its different grade structure. The main areas to watch are sustaining ELA gains, strengthening third-grade math, and making science performance more consistent.
