Summary

Roosevelt Elementary is a K–5 neighborhood school at 910 N Sawyer St in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving about 235 students in the Oshkosh Area School District.

Roosevelt is a high-poverty school — 62.6% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2024–25 — and it currently ranks 878th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (15th percentile, 1 star). Its average proficiency across eight 2025–26 Forward Exam measures is 29.5%, compared with 46.1% for the district and 54.8% for the state. That is the lowest of 11 nearby Oshkosh elementaries, even though Roosevelt has the smallest classes in the group (10.1 students per teacher) and the second-highest spending ($16,689 per student). By contrast, Oakwood Elementary reaches 76.6% average proficiency with the group's largest classes (16.6:1) and lowest spending ($13,245). Read Elementary, a mile away, serves a similarly high-poverty population and scores almost identically (30.7%).

One genuine strength is attendance: 11.6% of Roosevelt students were chronically absent in 2024–25, better than the district (16.9%) and the state (17.3%), and far better than poverty peers such as Oaklawn Elementary (19.5%) and Menominee Elementary School (19.1%). Getting students into the building is not the problem — attendance improved while proficiency fell. Roosevelt's state rank has slid from the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2021–22 to 15th in 2025–26, four straight years of decline. Fourth-grade ELA came in at 10.3%, the lowest figure in the school's multi-year record, though grade-level results swing widely in a school this small. There are bright spots: special education students climbed from the 25th to the 37th percentile over three years, and 2025–26 fifth graders performed at roughly district level in both ELA and math (43.6% each).
