Roosevelt Middle to Add Ninth Grade | Santa Fe News

Roosevelt Middle School in Albuquerque is poised to become the district’s first middle school to also house ninth graders, aiming to ease the transition from middle to high school and boost academic success. Starting in 2025, one grade will be added annually until the school becomes a full K-12 campus by 2029. With strong parent support and existing facilities ready to handle around 40 new students, the plan could help reduce dropout rates and improve outcomes—especially since Roosevelt feeds into Manzano High, which has faced graduation challenges. The final call rests with the APS Board, with approval still needed from the state education department. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
