Roosevelt Middle School, located at 1926 E 19th Avenue in the Oakland (Fruitvale/Estates) area of Oakland, CA 94606, serves students in grades 6–8. Enrollment is about 551 students with a student–teacher ratio near 16:1. The gender distribution is roughly 48% male and 52% female. Based on the most recent statewide reporting, about 21% of students are proficient in math, and around 28% are proficient in reading, shared factually with official data. The campus is a traditional public middle school in the Oakland Unified School District that offers core instruction and a range of electives for its typical two-grade span. Assigned students come from several contiguous attendance zones across that part of Oakland, creating a predictable progression from local elementary schools into seventh and eighth grade. Homes in the broader Fruitvale and adjacent East Oakland neighborhoods commonly list near $600,000, a point many local families reference when aligning where they live with school boundary access and nearby urban amenities. Anchored in Oakland’s network of public campuses, this middle school in California reflects how a neighborhood-assigned school with straightforward academic indicators sits among the region’s broader mix of educational pathways.

Roosevelt Middle is currently involved in a $91.55 million campus modernization initiative. The project includes the construction of a new 3,400-square-foot modular science facility, the modernization of the interior of the main classroom building, and seismic and structural improvements to the theater. The project enhances science education and ensures that outdated facilities comply with modern safety regulations by modernizing them.
