What stands out at Roosevelt Elementary School

Roosevelt Elementary School is a high-poverty, mid-sized elementary school in Klamath Falls, Oregon, enrolling 344 students.

Class loads run heavy: 26.5:1 is larger than about 96% of Oregon schools and 51% above the 17.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Economic need is high: 88.3% of students qualify for free meals, 67% above the Oregon average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.

With 344 students, its enrollment sits close to the Oregon median campus size.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 1,273 Oregon schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 101 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Oregon schools statewide, it ranks #101, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is led by White (66%) and Hispanic or Latino (22%) (diversity index 50/100).

Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 344 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 36.6% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

Its district draws 19.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Among Klamath Falls's elementary schools, it stands alongside Peterson Elementary School (573 students): Roosevelt Elementary School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (26.5:1 vs 19.8:1).
