Terrible Terrible Terrible School. Early this year a student brought a gun to school and the principal kept it hidden from the parents. There have been cheating allegations on the FSA test and bullying and fights happen daily. Just type Robinswood Middle School into your search engine and see what comes up. Close Quote

It's an okay school, not the BEST but it's also not the worst. My actual rating is 3.75. Close Quote

There are a few children that belong in juvenile detention or some other type of secondary school. Bullying is rampant, meaning the incoming 6th graders do not stand a chance. Then there's faculty, not all, that are more concerned with their weaves and the latest fashion trends, than the welfare of the students. Everything rises and falls with Leadership and the orange county school district may want to reassess the leadership and faculty at Robinswood Middle School 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.
