Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Janesville, Wisconsin, serving 412 students in the Janesville School District — similar in size to nearby Kennedy Elementary (404), Washington Elementary (410) and Van Buren Elementary (408). In 2025–2026 it ranks 139th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), while the district overall ranks 257th of 432 (41st percentile, 2 stars). The school performs far above its district average, and that record is no one-year fluke: it has earned 4 or 5 stars every year since 2015–2016, with percentile ranks mostly in the 84th–96th range.

Test scores are strong across the board. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, Roosevelt beat both district and state in every subject and grade shown — ELA, math, social studies and science. Averaged across those eight figures, proficiency is about 72.2%, versus roughly 60.1% for the district and 54.7% for the state. Science stands out at 72.94% (district 57.00%, state 53.46%), as does social studies at 77.65% (district 70.74%, state 65.51%). Roosevelt's average edges out nearby Monroe Elementary (about 71.8%), Kennedy Elementary (71.5%) and Harrison Elementary (70.8%), and is well ahead of lower-ranked peers such as Adams Elementary and Wilson Elementary.

Subgroup results are a defining strength: low-income students ranked 86th of 848 schools (90th percentile, 4 stars), after years at the 93rd and 95th percentiles, and Hispanic students ranked in the 86th percentile. Chronic absenteeism fell to 14.0% in 2024–2025 from 26.1% in 2022–2023 — below the district's 22.0% and the state's 17.3%, though above Kennedy Elementary (10.1%), Harrison Elementary (10.2%) and Monroe Elementary (12.1%). About half of students (50.73%) qualify for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending of $13,939 is below several nearby schools. Worth watching: female students' rank slipped to the 76th percentile from 92nd in 2023–2024, and Grade 5 ELA and math lag Roosevelt's Grades 3 and 4 — both still above district and state averages.
