Student-teacher ratio in context
How Roosevelt Elementary School compares with North Dakota and U.S. medians
What stands out at Roosevelt Elementary School
Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing
Roosevelt Elementary School sits near the smaller end of the North Dakota enrollment distribution while also reporting a lower student-teacher ratio than most state schools. That pairing is consistent with a compact, teacher-dense setting, though small scale can limit the number of specialized courses or support roles a campus can sustain. The program and staffing sections below show whether the lean ratio extends beyond classroom teachers into broader student services.
Need and resources require a component-level read
Roosevelt Elementary School falls within the wide middle of the North Dakota distribution on both free-meal eligibility and the Resource Investment Index. Neither measure supplies an honest headline by itself. The useful distinctions are in the components: classroom staffing, counselor availability, attendance, gifted-program access, and district spending. Those fields can pull in opposite directions even when the overall percentile looks ordinary.
Attendance is a relative strength
8.1% of Roosevelt Elementary School students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 civil-rights collection. On its face, that is a comparatively low historical rate, though this page does not treat it as a current national benchmark or guarantee current-year performance. Here, attendance is a more distinctive signal than the presence or absence of any single specialist role.
Roosevelt Elementary School is a lower-poverty, mid-sized combined-grade school in Carson, North Dakota, enrolling 62 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 8.9:1 puts it in the smaller third of North Dakota schools by student-teacher ratio.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 19.6% lands close to the North Dakota typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 62 puts it in the smaller third of North Dakota schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 498 scored North Dakota schools.
Against 64 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks mid-pack at #44.
Its student body is predominantly White (95% of enrollment) (diversity index 9/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 248 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
Attendance holds up well here: only 8.1% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
The surrounding Roosevelt 18 spends $22,864 per pupil, 24% above the North Dakota average, a better-resourced district than most.
