Awful school. So glad to finally take our child out. First off the receptionists are the rudest people I’ve ever experienced greating people into a school. I once watched as an office worker made fun of my autistic child behind his back right in front of me! The administration is a joke. Time after time my child gets bullied and the administration sees it on their cameras yet give the bulling students no repercussions. They make my child feel as if he is doing something wrong. I admit there are a few decent teachers trying their hardest but the school holds any of their attempts back. Also the safety is a joke. Picking up my child after school is a nightmare. The parents race up and down broadway blvd with no regard for the children’s safety and the school does absolutely nothing about it. The only time I have ever seen faculty in front of the school when the children get out is when they stand at the neighboring apartments telling the children not to sit on their stairs. IMO you should avoid taking your children to this school if you value their safety.

I had really high hopes for this school when I first came in as a supporting staff substitute for the special education class. I had a poor experience with a teacher who was not trained but received the job and was barely being given training during the school year. I found this disappointing and dangerous as the teacher had no tolerance for those with special needs. They would yell and staff and students when they were frustrated. Definitely will never send my kids there.

Roosevelt has the best kids in the district. They are respectful and kind. The staff is very caring and works hard to develop relationships with students.
