The Roosevelt Public School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade from Roosevelt in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3][4][5][6][7]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "GH", the third-highest of eight groupings.
