What stands out at Theodore Roosevelt School No. 10
Theodore Roosevelt School No. 10 is a high-poverty, mid-sized elementary school in Passaic, New Jersey, enrolling 369 students.

Economic need is high: 100.0% of students qualify for free meals, 238% above the New Jersey average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
With 369 students, its enrollment sits close to the New Jersey median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 94% of the 2,501 New Jersey schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 19 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need New Jersey schools statewide, it ranks #18, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (96% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 7/100).

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 59.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Among Passaic's elementary schools, it stands alongside Mahatma Gandhi School Number 25 (903 students): Theodore Roosevelt School No. 10 is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (17.6:1 vs 21.5:1).
