Roosevelt Elementary Magnet is a K-6 school with an all-day kindergarten program. This school serves over 500 students from across the district. With approximately 56% of its student population identified as English Language Learners (ELL) the school has placed emphasis on meeting the specific needs of this population.
Roosevelt's mission is that all students will read at or above grade level by the end of third grade. Success For All, a comprehensive school reform model, was adopted in 1998 to continue to show consistent gains in the area of reading for all students. A transitional Spanish/English bilingual program is offered to support the 42 percent Latino population. The bilingual reading program, Lee Conmigo, parallels the English curriculum and is part of SFA.
The SFA program utilizes a quarterly assessment to monitor progress. The students are placed in ability groups based on their performance. These class sizes range from six to eighteen students.
Roosevelt provides a quality, caring environment for its entire student population using the Responsive Classroom™ model.
Roosevelt concentrates on the core instructional areas of reading, writing, mathematics and science utilizing the district-adopted programs that align with district, state and national standards.
Roosevelt is working to promote a strong collaboration between school, home and the community.
