Summary:

Robinson Academy is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Long Beach, California, with 729 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 23:1. The school is part of the Long Beach Unified School District, which is ranked 654 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Long Beach Unified School District, Robinson Academy consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. In 2023-2024, only 28.79% of Robinson Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 49.52% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In math, only 18.8% of Robinson Academy students were proficient or better, compared to 36.36% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Additionally, Robinson Academy has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 34.6% in 2021-2022, compared to the district average of around 10-12%.

While Robinson Academy serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 75.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, the nearby schools in the Long Beach Unified School District, such as Bobbie Smith Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary, generally outperform Robinson Academy in academic achievement. However, one notable exception is Alvarado Elementary, which is located just outside the Long Beach Unified School District in Signal Hill and significantly outperforms Robinson Academy and the surrounding schools in both academic achievement and student demographics.

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.
