I can't even express how happy I am to have both of my children at Roosevelt! The teachers are excellent and there's such a feeling of warmth at the school that you just have to walk into the office and experience for yourself. It's truly sad that scores play such a huge part in people's decision about a school. I think many people discount Roosevelt without even touring the school. Stop by the school and request a tour and see for yourself. Roosevelt is a fantastic school in the district!
