4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers help you learn but they don't help you when you need extra help with the assignment or class work. they never give out homework but if you don't turn in an assignment thats in paper or online you have to do it at home. the students are outrageous and there were at least 5 or 6 fights in one school year. the kids there are super nice though if you become friends with themStudent Review1y ago - Greenwood Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think the results speak for themselves. Roosevelt USED to be a good school, it is now consistently under-performing. Too much focus on woke and unimportant issues and not enough on providing children with a solid education and discipline. I have no idea how the current principal got the position, he seems useless, and is a poor communicator. Doubt he has ever taught and frankly it shows.Parent Review1y ago
