Excellent AP offerings; strong cocurricular programming and athletics. Has done a great job preparing my child for high end college opportunities.

Hi I'm a 7th grade student at this school, I've had a great time overall with the school and it's teachers. The teacher's really help you to do better and support your mental health. The students though can be really mean, three students in my 6th grade year got expelled, and a whole bunch got suspended. A student from Whitman got expelled and came to Longfellow, skipped most of his classes and littered. But when you find a true friend there it can last a lifetime.

Having had the honor of attending Roosevelt Elementary myself, I can confidently say it is a school about laying a strong foundation for academics as well as life in general. It is a nurturing setting with caring teachers whose curriculum is directed at nudging and motivating children in a vast range of courses including reading, math, science, social studies, and fine arts. Roosevelt's holistic philosophy of learning prepares children not only for success in the next year level but for life in general.One of Roosevelt's biggest assets is its teachers. Most of Roosevelt's faculty regularly show professionalism, kindness, and actual enthusiasm for their children. They make every effort to enhance learning, stimulate curiosity, and provide an environment where children are respected and cared for. Many teachers take a step further to form close bonds with their children, ensuring each child understands they are an advocate for them.Though my experience at Roosevelt as a whole was decidedly positive, there was one teacher whose method was less inclusive, frequently displaying favoritism and engendering a spirit of unfairness amongst peers. That aside, however, it was not the norm. The majority of the staff regularly made efforts to make certain that students were equally treated and equally equipped with what it took for them to make it. Their professionalism and supportiveness served to offset that adversity, keeping in mind for me that one educator does not comprise an entire school. Roosevelt Elementary is, at its core, a community. It is a place where kids are prompted to explore their capabilities, teachers are invested in their futures, and lifelong friendships and memories form. Hindsight causes me to appreciate a strong academic foundation and set of individual values instilled there, and I do think Roosevelt is still an ideal location for kids to learn and grow.
