Robbinsdale Middle

Summary:

Robbinsdale Middle is a public middle school in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, serving 632 students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high racial achievement gaps, and a large percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Robbinsdale Middle has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance is consistently in the bottom 20% of Minnesota middle schools, with only 12.1% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 45.47% statewide. This underperformance has persisted for over a decade, and the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of these challenges.

The nearby schools, such as Plymouth Middle and Sandburg Middle School, have higher academic performance and lower percentages of students from low-income families, indicating that the challenges faced by Robbinsdale Middle may be more pronounced than in other schools in the Robbinsdale Public School District. Factors such as access to resources, teacher quality, and student support may be contributing to the school's struggles, and a data-driven approach to addressing these issues could be crucial in improving student outcomes.

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.
