Robinson Elementary

Summary:

Robinson Elementary is a public elementary school in Raytown, Missouri, serving 345 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and focus on gifted and talented students, though it has seen a decline in its overall statewide ranking in recent years.

With a higher percentage of African American (48.41%) and Hispanic (12.17%) students compared to nearby schools like Westridge Elementary and Spring Valley Elementary, Robinson Elementary's diversity is a key strength. The school also outperforms the Raytown C-2 School District and the state of Missouri in several academic areas, including mathematics, science, and English language arts proficiency. Additionally, Robinson Elementary ranked 13th out of 70 Missouri elementary schools for its Gifted and Talented student program, and it has consistently ranked among the top 40 schools for its African American student performance.

However, the school has seen a concerning decline in its overall statewide ranking, from 233rd out of 1,108 Missouri elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 482nd out of 898 in 2022-2023. This downward trend, coupled with a significant increase in the school's free and reduced lunch rate (from 37.35% in 2021-2022 to 60% in 2022-2023), suggests that Robinson Elementary may be facing challenges in supporting its growing population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Nonetheless, the school's smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 12.2 to 13 students per teacher, may be a contributing factor to its stronger academic performance compared to the surrounding schools.

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.
