Original Research by School Decision on Roosevelt Dual Language Academy
Roosevelt Dual Language Academy is a small public elementary school serving kindergarten through second grade in the Edgewood Independent School District. The school enrolls a small cohort of students, with enrollment distributed fairly evenly across its three grade levels. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student body is predominantly Hispanic, with virtually all students from that background. The school's location is in the 78237 zip code area of San Antonio.
The school operates as a two-way dual language program, a pedagogical model that aims to develop bilingual proficiency in both English and Spanish across its early elementary grades. This program type represents part of Edgewood ISD's broader redesign toward specialized "Schools of Innovation," which offers families distinct instructional pathways.
Academic performance data comes from the 2024-25 STAAR assessments administered in third grade. These results show proficiency rates below midpoint levels when compared to other districts in Bexar County. In mathematics, the proficiency rate sits in the lower range, with the largest share of students falling into the "Approaches Grade Level" category rather than meeting or exceeding standards. English language arts performance is somewhat higher but still shows a similar pattern of students concentrated in the approaches level. Very few students achieved mastery in either subject. State testing data for kindergarten and first grade is not available because those grades are not formally assessed under Texas's state accountability system.
A parent considering Roosevelt may want to look into the school's turnaround status. The district was required by the Texas Education Agency to implement an approved improvement plan at Roosevelt after the 2024-25 state ratings, placing it among seven Edgewood campuses designated for instructional change. The school is navigating this accountability environment while maintaining its dual language focus.
Housing in the school's zip code area is relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks. Median home values and rental costs reflect a lower-cost segment of the San Antonio market, though rents have risen modestly year over year. The area is broadly car-dependent, as much of San Antonio is, though the city's broader transit system and River Walk corridor offer some pedestrian connectivity downtown.
San Antonio itself is one of the nation's fastest-growing cities, anchored by healthcare, military installations, finance, and a growing IT and cybersecurity sector. For families in or considering Edgewood ISD, the district is managing significant structural changes, including school closures and enrollment adjustments in response to demographic shifts and charter competition, alongside its pedagogical innovations. Edgewood also recently returned to elected governance after a state takeover and has undergone a board transition. Roosevelt Dual Language Academy's early-grade dual language model appeals to families seeking multilingual instruction, though the school's current academic standing reflects the broader performance pressures the district faces.
