I am very pleased with Roosevelt. My daughter has not only succeeded, but has felt comfortable and made some great friends.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted August 11, 2003

Will Not leave the school. Teachers & principle have great communication with parents, constantly keeping parents informed. My children are for the most part excited about education, they have the typical 'I'm tired of school' attitude, but, for the most part enjoy it. They all adore the faculty. More help needed on the playground though. Too much inappropriate behavior during recess that the duties cannot always see. I know if I'm going to complain about it I need to be helping. I will always support the school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
