Original Research by School Decision on Roosevelt School
Roosevelt School is a public elementary school serving kindergarten through sixth grade in Ogden, Utah, and is part of Weber District. The school sits in the southern part of the city, and its student enrollment is typical for an elementary school of its grade band. The student body is majority white and includes a substantial Hispanic population as well as small shares of students who identify as Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, or two or more races. A majority of students come from households that qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating an economically diverse community with a significant proportion of families on the lower end of the income spectrum.
On state assessments in math, English language arts, and science, proficiency rates for Roosevelt School students place its overall performance above the midpoint among districts in Weber County, though the school’s own rates are below half of students scoring proficient or above. The math proficiency rate reflects a level where a minority of students meet the state’s academic benchmarks, and the ELA rate is similar. Science proficiency is a bit higher. A parent considering the school should note that the most recent ELA data comes from a different school year than the math and science results, so the picture is not drawn from the same testing cycle across subjects. The state changed its cut scores in ELA in a recent year, which may affect comparability with past results, though the available data does not show a multi-year trend to evaluate changes over time.
The school serves only elementary grades, so there is no high school graduation rate or chronic absenteeism data to report—those metrics apply to older grades. Information on special education identification, English learner enrollment, staffing ratios, discipline incidents, and attendance patterns is not available in the data provided. Families may want to ask the school directly about class sizes, support for students with disabilities, and behavioral climate.
Roosevelt School is located in Ogden, a city that functions as an economic and civic hub for northern Utah. The city has seen significant downtown revitalization, with new businesses, housing, and public gathering spaces. Major employers include the IRS, McKay Dee Hospital, Weber State University, and the local school district, and the economy gains strength from clusters in outdoor recreation, IT, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. Housing values in the school’s ZIP code are above the national median and roughly in line with the state median, with rents that take about a quarter of median household income. Ogden’s central street, Historic 25th Street, anchors dining and shopping, and the city hosts Weber State University as an educational anchor. Locally, the school is one of many elementary schools within Weber District, and the district manages other schools that feed into various middle and high schools; no specific information about district-level initiatives or recent changes was available.
Overall, Roosevelt School presents as an elementary school with a student body that reflects economic diversity and where proficiency on state tests, while above the middle of the county’s districts, still means a majority of students are not yet reaching the proficient threshold. A family considering this school would want to explore how the school supports students who need additional academic help, what enrichment or intervention programs exist, and what the school’s learning environment feels like day to day—details that go beyond the available data.
