Robinson Middle School

Summary:

Robinson Middle School is a public middle school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 739 students in grades 6-8. The school consistently performs well, ranking in the top 25% of Kansas middle schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robinson Middle School outperforms the Wichita district and the state of Kansas in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's academic excellence is particularly notable for Asian and White students, who rank among the top in the state. Additionally, the school effectively supports students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Robinson Middle School stands out as a high-performing school, the nearby schools in the Wichita district generally struggle academically. Schools like Wells Alternative Middle School, Mead Middle School, and Hamilton Middle School have proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. This suggests that Robinson Middle School's success may be an exception within the Wichita school district, and the school could serve as a model for effective educational practices.

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.
