The top reported proficiency rate is 59% in English language arts. The lowest is 39% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Roosevelt Elementary School
Roosevelt Elementary School sits on Ripley Road in Point Pleasant, serving pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as part of Mason County Schools. It is a small school by enrollment, with roughly two dozen students per grade in the tested elementary years. The student body is almost entirely white, with only a handful of children identifying as multiracial or Black. The school does not report free-or-reduced-price lunch counts, English-learner counts, or individualized-education-program data in the records available, so the socioeconomic and special-needs picture here is incomplete. A parent wanting to understand those dimensions would need to ask the school directly.
On state assessments, Roosevelt shows a mixed but mostly solid academic profile. Math proficiency starts strong in third grade, where a clear majority of tested students meet or exceed the proficiency bar. That edge narrows in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade, where roughly half the class in each grade clears the standard. The pattern is steady across those upper elementary years, neither falling off a cliff nor climbing. English language arts tells a more uneven story. Third-grade ELA proficiency is the weakest result in the building, with fewer than half of tested students reaching proficiency. By fourth grade the share jumps to a strong majority, dips again in fifth, and then rebounds in sixth grade to the highest proficiency rate the school posts in any subject at any grade. The sixth-grade ELA result stands out as a genuine strength. Science is tested only in fifth grade at this level, and the proficiency rate there is the lowest the school reports. A parent may want to look into how science instruction is structured across the earlier grades and what supports are in place for students who arrive at fifth grade without a strong foundation in the subject.
Because Roosevelt tops out at sixth grade, there is no graduation rate to report, and the state does not test pre-kindergarten through second grade, so those early years carry no proficiency data. The absence of seventh- and eighth-grade results in the record reflects that Roosevelt does not serve those grades, not that the school underperformed there.
Point Pleasant itself is a small river town at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers, serving as the Mason County seat. Publicly reported sources describe a community in long-term population decline from a mid-twentieth-century peak, with the current trajectory one of gradual contraction. The local economy rests on a hospital, two chemical and plastics plants, branch banking, and a tourism sector built around Mothman folklore, an annual festival, and a historic downtown district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Silver Memorial Bridge connects the town to Ohio and reroutes highway traffic away from Main Street, which affects the commercial rhythm of the downtown core. Street life is modest outside of festival weekends, and the civic anchors include a state park at the river confluence, a public library, and city parks. Housing in the area is inexpensive relative to both state and national benchmarks, with a price-to-income ratio that sits well below what most American homebuyers face. That affordability shapes who can move into the attendance zone and how stable the student population tends to be.
At the district level, Mason County voters renewed the excess levy in November 2024 by a wide margin, according to publicly reported district communications. The levy continues an existing tax rate rather than adding a new one, and it channels money toward teacher salaries, classroom technology, extracurricular activities and their transportation, extra-duty pay, and building operations and maintenance. For a parent weighing Roosevelt, that levy renewal matters because it protects the funding base for staffing and programs that small schools depend on to stay viable.
No comparison data placing Roosevelt against other Mason County schools was available, so the school's standing relative to its neighbors cannot be characterized here. Program offerings, course access, discipline data, staffing ratios, and attendance figures were also absent from the records. What the available data does show is a small, homogenous elementary school with genuinely strong upper-grade ELA results, decent but unremarkable math performance across most grades, a weak fifth-grade science result, and an early-grade ELA result that lags. It sits in an affordable, slowly contracting river town whose voters have chosen to keep investing in their schools.
