Summary:
Robinson Middle School is a public middle school located in Topeka, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 360 students. The school is part of the Topeka Public Schools district, which is ranked 245 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Robinson Middle School has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently falling well below the state averages. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 14.91% in ELA, 17.3% in Math, and 11.92% in Science, compared to the state averages of 33.55%, 31.6%, and 32.28%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 8th grade, with only 8.4% proficient in ELA and 7.39% in Math, compared to the state averages of 22.34% and 23.93%. Additionally, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with many ranking in the bottom quartile or third of Kansas middle schools.
While the nearby middle schools within the Topeka Public Schools district also struggle academically, some schools outside the district, such as Jefferson West Middle and Shawnee Heights Middle, perform significantly better, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Robinson Middle School may be systemic within the Topeka Public Schools district, rather than solely a reflection of the school's own performance. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding or adjusting the student-teacher ratio.
