About Our School
Chisa Marshall, Principal
Roosevelt Elementary School has served the residents of northeast Olympia since 1908. The current building was built in 1989, which serves students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. A diverse ethnic and socioeconomic mix of students and families enriches our school. Currently, Roosevelt is one of five schools in the Olympia School District that receives federal Title I funding to enhance and enrich our social and academic programs.
Roosevelt Elementary School is physically organized into three instructional pods with a total of 17 classrooms. Each pod shares a central common area. Our school facility has a gym, multipurpose
room, music room, and library. Additionally, our school is home to two district programs. The Learning to Engage and Play (LEAP) classroom helps students in grades K-2 to develop social/emotional skills and the Academic Learning Program (ALPS) is a 4th and 5th grade multi-age classroom designed to challenge and accelerate students who excel in the elementary school setting.
We are proud of the programs we have in place to develop the academic, social and emotional capabilities, and also the success we have had in meeting the needs of this diverse student population.

MAP is a district assessment for K-10th-grade students that measures a student's developing skills through a series of questions that adapt to the child’s level of learning. Research on MAP indicates the results are highly accurate. The results help teachers measure growth and determine whether a student may need more support or more challenge.
When students finish their MAP Growth testOpening in a new windowOpening in a new windowOpening in a new windowOpening in a new windowOpening in a new windowOpening in a new windowOpening in a new windowOpening in a new window, they receive a number called an RIT score for each area they are tested in (reading, language usage, math, or science). This score represents a student’s achievement level at any given moment and helps measure their academic growth over time. The RIT scale is a stable scale, like feet and inches, that accurately measures student performance, regardless of age, grades, or grade level. Like marking height on a growth chart, and being able to see how tall your child is at various points in time, you can also see how much they have grown between tests.
The higher the RIT score, the more achievement the student has in the subject. The student's percentile ranking and conditional growth percentile can show how much the student has achieved in comparison with their peers. You can also refer to the Comparative Data to Inform Instructional Decisions to understand how students are performing relative to other students in the same grade level according to our national norms.
