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.

Open Quote It is a good school through 5th grade, after fifth grade get your kids out. The administration is just ok, responsive to parents but not helpful. Some great teachers in the k-5, but after 5th grade it all goes very bad. Close Quote

Open Quote Robins is a cute little school tucked away in west Tucson. There is a happy feel in the air and the students get a lot of attention from great teachers, involved parents, and professional staff. The test scores associated with the middle school are better than most of the local middle schools, especially provocative given that it is newly formed. We love it there. Close Quote

Open Quote I have visited the school, met a few of the teachers, the principal and a few of the students. The school is well organized and is well managed. Teachers have control of their classes and the students seem to want to learn. I hope the AIMs scores will improve. Close Quote

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.
