Robison Elementary School

Summary:

Robison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 265 that is predominantly Hispanic (74.34% in 2022-2023).

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, Robison Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic metrics. In 2022-2023, only 14% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 22% for the district and 34% for the state. This underperformance is likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.46% to 75.85% in recent years, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year further highlights its struggles to provide a high-quality education.

Interestingly, the nearby Borton Primary Magnet School and Lineweaver Elementary School have significantly higher academic performance and SchoolDigger ratings, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Robison Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools to address its own challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
