This school is full of violence and all of the administration does is single out lower income kids because of the way they look. They do not care about students health at all and there is no help or trust in anything. I got framed for having e cigarettes many times and no one believed me because of my lower income family. I was mistreated and jumped many times at this school and nothing was done.

Roosevelt a good school i think they have good academics and great opportunities such as classes like teachers pathway lots of chance to peruse higher education. the only thing i dislike about Roosevelt is the involvement of the parents and the administration office does not do well with communication. i feel Roosevelt would be a lot safer if the staff an d administration had better communication

Roosevelt High School is a pretty decent school. Like any other school it's not perfect but I do really like the awareness they bring to touchy topics with teens.
