Robinson School

Summary:

Robinson School is an elementary school in Grand Haven Area Public Schools serving 211 students in grades PK-4. Despite facing some challenges, this high-performing school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools and outperforms state and district averages in academic achievement.

Robinson School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 60% of 3rd graders and 55.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 39.6% and 43.3% statewide. In math, an impressive 85% of 3rd graders and 54.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better, far exceeding the state averages of 43.4% and 39.1%. The school's racial diversity, with 16.59% Hispanic students, is also a unique asset compared to nearby schools like Rosy Mound School and Peach Plains School. However, Robinson School has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 37.44% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Robinson School's academic performance is commendable, the school faces a concerning challenge with a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.5% in 2018-2019 to 44.5% in 2022-2023. This trend warrants immediate attention and intervention from the school and district. Overall, Robinson School is a high-achieving elementary school that provides a diverse and supportive learning environment, but addressing the rise in chronic absenteeism will be crucial to maintaining its strong performance.

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.
