Roosa Elementary is a public school in Claremore, Oklahoma, serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It is one of the elementary schools within the Claremore district, and it operates as a traditional, non-charter public school. The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report, and state testing data only covers the tested grades within its span.
On state assessments, the picture is partially obscured by suppressed results for some grade-level subjects—third-grade math, third- and fifth-grade English language arts—likely due to small group sizes that trigger data privacy rules. Where results are available, the school shows a mixed profile. Fourth-grade math and fourth-grade ELA both sit at a level where a solid majority of students meet the state’s proficiency bar. Fifth-grade math, however, shows a much lower share of students reaching that level, a notable drop that a parent may want to discuss with the school. Fifth-grade science results fall roughly in the middle. When looking across all tested subjects and grades in the 2024-25 school year, Roosa’s overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile relative to districts in Rogers County. That is a meaningful strength: the school’s composite academic performance ranks among the stronger ones in its county comparison set.
The student body is moderately sized for an elementary school. The racial and ethnic composition is diverse, with the largest group being white students, followed by a substantial American Indian or Alaska Native population, then students identifying as two or more races, Hispanic students, a small Asian population, and a very small Black population. Data on economic disadvantage—free or reduced-price lunch eligibility—and on special education or English learner status are not reported here, so the full socioeconomic picture is not available from this source.
The school’s setting is in Claremore, a town in Rogers County. Housing in the area, based on the school’s ZIP code, shows home values that are broadly in line with the state median and below the national median, with rents similarly moderate. The local housing market has seen modest appreciation over the past year, and typical mortgage costs are somewhat higher than average rents, reflecting a market where renting may be slightly more affordable than buying for many households.
The Claremore district itself, as of recent public reporting, has not undergone any major bond elections, curriculum overhauls, or other structural changes that would lastingly alter the school experience. The district appears to be operating on a steady footing, without a recent referendum or major initiative that a parent would need to weigh.
For a family considering Roosa, the school offers a solid academic record relative to its county peers, with the caveat that performance in fifth-grade math is a clear soft spot and some test results are suppressed, making a full picture harder to see. The school serves early and elementary grades only, so families will need to plan for middle and high school transitions later. The community is a small city with a moderate cost of living. The lack of data on student support programs such as Title I status or special education enrollment means that families with specific needs should inquire directly with the school to understand available services. Overall, Roosa presents a typical elementary option in its region, with a comparative academic advantage in its county.
