Both of my children have been privileged to an RHS education. I have never seen staff, teachers and principals so dedicated to the welfare and education of their students. They are truly extraordinary. The staff is available to students and parents 24/7 and the curriculum is truly excellent!

As a graduate of Roosevelt, I feel that this school is academically on point. When I entered college I felt prepared and ready to succeed. Unlike my peers I was able to get through undergrad in 4 years without academic setbacks.

I am a freshman at Roosevelt, and am going to graduate as the class of 2009. Before coming to Roosevelt, I was so nervous about how hard the classes were going to be, and how much work i had to do. Then there was the whole experience of Band Camp and marching season, and then I decided to join the lacrosse team. Overall I love this school, its so great and I'm definately going to miss it once it's time to leave. With over 100 extra-curricular classes and clubs, Roosevelt is one of the best schools in Ohio!

Roosevelt is... different. Most of the extras at this school are pretty useful. They offer many oppurtunities in electronics, and is constantly moving forward with time. Class can be at any pace for the student. Even if you excell beyond the advanced class there are areas that can be covered for each student. Each subject has the potential to allow the student to excell greatly, exspeccially in the math and sciences.

I currently go to Roosevelt High School as a freshman. It is a very good school, with many extra activities to partake in, as long as many class sections to choose from. I currenty am in a program called the Expedition Academy, which is a class of higher level thinking. We also go on backpacking trips with the school, for example this spring we are going down to Georgia to hike on the AT. It is going to be a blast! Roosevelt is a great school!

I graduated from Roosevelt in 2000 and went to Kent Schools from kindergarten. From December 2001 to November 2003 I served as a missionary for my church. The educational background I received at Roosevelt and in Kent greatly helped me there and in life. There are so many opportunities to learn and the diversity is wonderful. If you're ever thinking about coming to this area, the Kent City Schools and Roosevelt High School are an excellent choice!

My son has just finished his freshman year and Roosevelt and had the opportunity to be in a program called Bridges. This program is for students who have had problems in middle school and it promotes self-esteem, study skills and individual attention. We have seen a huge improvement in his grades and his attitude toward education. His teachers were all young and entusiastic as well as very helpful. I would highly recommend this program to others.

I have had two boys attend KTRHS. One is gifted and the other a struggling Special Ed. student. This has been the most amazing expierence for both of them. They both have had excellent teachers and a great experience. This truly is a 'family' for them. I would highly recommend this school for any teenager.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) to test students in grade 10 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. State averages displayed on public school profiles include public schools only. State averages displayed on private school profiles include private schools only. The OGT is a high school graduation requirement for public schools and chartered private schools. The OGT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Ohio. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

About the tests


Ohio uses the Performance Index to provide an overall indication of how well students perform on its standardized tests each year. The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.

No Value-Added data was reported for this school.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Ohio Department of Education used the Value-Added Measure to show how much growth students made on the Ohio Achievement Test since the last school year. The state expects that student test scores will show an average year's worth of growth compared to test scores from the previous year. Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.
