Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a public elementary school in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving 247 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Oshkosh Area School District, which is ranked 337 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite receiving relatively high funding and maintaining a low student-to-teacher ratio, Roosevelt Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools in academic performance. The school's students perform significantly below the district and state averages on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.33% of 3rd-grade students at Roosevelt Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36.66% for the Oshkosh district and 52.14% for the state. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 10.0% to 19.5% over the past few years.

While Roosevelt Elementary struggles academically, some nearby schools within the Oshkosh Area School District, such as Oakwood Elementary and Webster Stanley Elementary, perform significantly better on the Forward Exam, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. These higher-performing schools also have lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.
