ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL

ROOSEVELT HIGH is a Title I public high school that is part of the ST. LOUIS CITY school district, located in ST LOUIS, MO with about 423 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 41 teachers, ROOSEVELT HIGH has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

ROOSEVELT HIGH School, located in the Tower Grove South neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, is a historic public secondary school serving the St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) district. Housed in a notable collegiate gothic-style building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the school has long been a landmark in the local community. It serves a diverse student body, offering a comprehensive curriculum that includes core academic subjects, elective courses, and various extracurricular programs designed to prepare students for post-secondary education and career readiness.

In recent years, the school has undergone significant administrative and structural shifts as part of the district's broader efforts to improve academic outcomes and campus culture. Roosevelt emphasizes a "community school" model, often partnering with local organizations to provide support services that address the holistic needs of its students. While the school has faced challenges common to urban education environments, it remains a focal point for neighborhood engagement and continues to focus on stabilizing its academic performance and fostering a supportive learning environment for its students.
