Summary:

George R. Robinson Elementary is a public elementary school in Kirkwood, Missouri, serving 493 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Kirkwood R-VII School District, which is ranked 13th out of 386 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George R. Robinson Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of Missouri elementary schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts. In 2023-2024, the school's 4th-grade students scored 66.5% proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 46.2%. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and low-income students, is below the state average, indicating potential equity concerns. The school has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism rates, from 16.1% in 2021-2022 to 10.4% in 2022-2023, though this is still higher than nearby North Glendale Elementary and W.W. Keysor Elementary.

George R. Robinson Elementary is well-resourced, with per-student spending increasing from $10,555 in 2018-2019 to $13,772 in 2021-2022, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Kirkwood R-VII School District. This suggests the school has the resources to support its students' academic and social-emotional needs, though addressing equity and chronic absenteeism may be areas for improvement.

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.
