Robein Elementary consistently ranks in the top 40% of Illinois elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in the upper grades. For example, in 2023-2024, 66.7% of 6th-grade students and 61.5% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 46.7% and 49.9%, respectively.

Robein Elementary has a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (46.54% in 2022-2023) compared to many nearby schools, but its student population is predominantly White, with lower rankings for White students compared to other subgroups.

Robein Elementary School generally outperforms the nearby Lincoln School, which is part of the Peoria School District 150 and has much lower academic proficiency rates. However, Robein lags behind the highly-ranked Lettie Brown Elementary School, which is part of the Morton CUSD 709 district and consistently achieves proficiency rates well above the state averages. Robein Elementary's increasing chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps are areas that warrant further attention and intervention to ensure all students are reaching their full potential.

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.

This is a wonderful neighborhood and school. Small K-8 which is hard to find. Caring teachers and staff that prepare students for life and continued education. Graduates go to East Peoria High School and are historically high achievers 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.
