The school prioritizes individualized attention, behavioral support, and credit recovery, aiming to provide a pathway for students to earn their diplomas in a setting that addresses their specific academic and social-emotional needs.
The atmosphere at Roosevelt is geared toward fostering personal accountability and academic progress for students who are at risk of falling behind or dropping out.
