Roosevelt Middle School, which is transitioning to Roosevelt STEAM Academy, will serve as the District’s newest magnet school and the only magnet school at the middle school level.  The school, which is located in South Glendale and serves students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 is a NASA Explorer Alumni School with a partnership with JPL that introduced robotics as a signature component of the school.  As the school progresses to integrate STEAM, students use computer science, robotics, virtual reality, and augmented reality to have a more enriching educational experience.  The magnet application for the school begins November 1st for prospective students.
