I loved the teachers and the community and so much more! The school was really focused on its education as well as art and music programs. I participated in sports and other clubs.
I would like to see the school become more diverse and embrace the culture that walks its halls. I feel as the school is mainly white middle class to upper and I felt like this was what this school was missing. This includes teachers of color and as well as coaching staff and other faculty.

Roosevelt is a great school with caring and intelligent teachers who are great with teenagers and push students academically. The AP program is incredible, and students graduate to top colleges. The music, drama, and athletics programs are all inclusive and robust programs. Roosevelt still needs to address and emphasize the importance of the experience of minorities at the school. Students truly care about this issue, but the administration, like so many other schools, is still learning to deal with issues of diversity and equity.
We have great classes in the arts and a wonderful theatre program. It is easy to form a new club, so we have a lot of fun ways to get involved in the community after school. We could do better with our math and science classes, AP and running start opportunities, and making sure that academic success is accessible to all students. Examples of this would be making it easier for students to waive textbook fees and testing fees, and providing more space for counselors to talk about scholarship opportunities and the like. We have some problems with our culture of exclusion and bullying that we are working on as well.
