This is an awsome school, The integration of the new principal Ms. Ramirez has opened new doors of communication and more active parents involved with school and activities the stats prove it. Our teachers are getting the support they needed from the Leader which is making a difference with our chilldren. I am sure Roosevelt Tigers will soar to the top of the list, and we will be able to add extracuricular activitties with parent knowledge of resourses and involvment.

The culture is very rich at Roosevelt. It's fun to share cultures, languages and backgrounds. The academics are intense and the teachers work very hard to make sure the kids learn well. The teachers deeply desire for the parents to be involved in their kids schooling. The parental involvement is very low. The children must practice, at home, what they learn at school. The parents must get more involved with their children learning, either at home or at school. The staff is eager to answer questions and help however they can. There are limited 'arts' classes because of the amount of literacy classes that must be taught. There are 5 'specials' one taught each day of the week (music, art, library, P.E. counseling) The teachers are good at what they do, love doing it. The campus has a no bully policy. Volunteer as often as you can, its wonderful.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
