Theodore Roosevelt High School is a comprehensive DCPS public high school at 4301 13th Street NW in Petworth, Ward 4, serving grades 9 to 12.

Roosevelt is one of the few DCPS comprehensive high schools offering a Dual Language / Immersion (Spanish-English) program at the high-school level — students who attended DCPS Spanish-immersion elementary and middle schools (Oyster-Adams, Bancroft, Powell etc.) can continue their bilingual pathway through graduation.
In-boundary Ward 4 / Petworth families guaranteed seats. Out-of-boundary applicants apply via My School DC before the late-January deadline. Roosevelt has waitlist priority for students continuing from DCPS Spanish-immersion middle schools.
