I think this is a great school. The teachers appear to care about their students. I have high regards for these teachers. It is tough now because of strict rules, etc. The principal is great he also seems to care about his students, teachers and school.

Excellent school!! Two children have moved on from Roosevelt- one to the senior high school and now one to the middle school. Still one child left at this super elementary! I wouldn't want my children ANYWHERE else in the town!!

My daughter attended this school before switching to the Catholic school in town. If you can afford private school do it!! I've talked to other parents who were just not satisfied with any of the public schools.
