Original Research by School Decision on Roosevelt El
Roosevelt Elementary sits on the eastern side of Lubbock, serving prekindergarten through fifth grade as part of Roosevelt ISD, a small district that sits outside Lubbock ISD's boundaries even though it carries a Lubbock mailing address. The school's enrollment is sizeable for its grade band. The student body is majority Hispanic, with a substantial White population and a small Black enrollment. A large share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which places Roosevelt El among schools with elevated concentrations of economic need. English learner and special education rates were not available in the data provided.
On the Texas STAAR assessment, Roosevelt El's results land below the midpoint among districts in Lubbock County. The share of students reaching the "meets grade level" standard, which Texas treats as the substantive proficiency bar, sits in the upper thirties across all tested subjects combined. Reading and writing results edge slightly higher than math, and fifth-grade scores are modestly stronger than third-grade in both subjects. Science, tested only at fifth grade, trails the other subjects. The share of students reaching the higher "masters" standard is quite low across every subject, meaning relatively few students are performing well above grade level. A parent wanting to understand what drives these patterns and what targeted support the school provides would do well to ask the school directly, as the data here does not explain the causes.
No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say whether performance has been improving, declining, or holding steady. That gap is worth raising with the school.
The district context matters here as much as the school's own numbers. Roosevelt ISD is a small, rural-character district experiencing genuine growth, and voters recently approved a major bond package to build a new elementary school and auditorium and renovate the secondary campus, publicly reported by local outlets. The oldest parts of the current facilities date to a Works Progress Administration-era construction, and the district has been operating without adequate space for its expanding enrollment. The bond passed after an earlier attempt failed, suggesting community commitment to the investment. A new Leprino Foods manufacturing facility in the area is publicly reported to offset a meaningful portion of the bond's cost, moderating the per-household property tax impact, though families moving in should factor the increased levy into their calculations.
Housing near the school is notably affordable relative to both state and national benchmarks. Home values in the relevant ZIP code are a fraction of the statewide median and well below national levels, and year-over-year appreciation has been modest. Rents are also low by state and national comparison, and the rent-to-income ratio is well within conventional affordability thresholds. For a family weighing cost of living against school quality, the housing picture is one of the more accessible in the region.
Lubbock itself is a car-dependent city built around Texas Tech University, healthcare, and agriculture. The outer and eastern parts of the city, where Roosevelt El is located, are suburban in character and built for driving. Parks, the public library system, and Citibus transit are available citywide, though the transit network is most useful in central neighborhoods. Downtown Lubbock has been seeing new investment and some residential growth, but that activity is geographically distant from this school's address.
Program details for Roosevelt El were not available in the data. There is no graduation rate applicable here, as the school ends at fifth grade. Civil rights data was not provided. A family considering this school would benefit from a direct conversation with the principal about academic intervention programs, how the new facilities bond will affect the elementary experience, and what the transition pathway looks like into the district's middle and high school grades, which are housed on the secondary campus currently slated for renovation.
