Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a PK–5 school at 3322 Roosevelt Rd in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 491 students — the largest PK–5 enrollment among the nearby comparison schools — as part of the Kenosha School District.

Roosevelt currently ranks 383rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars) for 2025–26, its strongest showing in six years. That is well above its own district, which sits at the 21st percentile with 1 star. The school's history is a decline followed by a recovery: after slipping from the mid-80s in the 2010s to a low of the 56th percentile in 2023–24, Roosevelt has improved for three straight years (56 → 60 → 63). On the 2025–26 state tests, Roosevelt beat the district in all eight subject-grades and beat the state in six of eight. Grade levels look different, though: 4th and 5th grades are strong, with 4th grade at 70.24% proficiency in both ELA and math and 77.38% in Social Studies, while 3rd grade is the weak spot at 43.66% ELA and 49.30% math — both below state.

Compared with its neighbors, Roosevelt ranks 2nd of 11 schools, trailing only Jeffery Elementary. Notably, it spends $13,227 per student (2024–25), the second-lowest in that group, and carries the highest student–teacher ratio (14.6) — yet it outperforms higher-spending, higher-poverty neighbors such as Grewenow Elementary and Strange Elementary. Two concerns stand out: chronic absenteeism jumped from 14.3% to 22.3% in a single year (below the district's 27.6% but above the state's 17.3%), and the special education subgroup fell sharply to the 3rd percentile, even as the low-income subgroup rose to the 78th percentile.

Open Quote A terrible elementary. Especially if your child has special needs. The principal has no desire to work with families of children with special needs. The worst experience I have ever had with KUSD. Close Quote
