Robbinsville Middle

Summary:

Robbinsville Middle is a public middle school in Robbinsville, North Carolina, serving around 250 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Graham County Schools district, which is ranked 199 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robbinsville Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming the state average in proficiency rates for end-of-grade tests in Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 20% of North Carolina middle schools for these subgroups. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.49% to 73.2%, Robbinsville Middle serves a student population facing significant economic disadvantage.

In contrast, nearby middle schools like Hayesville Middle and Andrews Middle significantly outperform Robbinsville Middle in academic proficiency. The unique demographic composition of Robbinsville Middle, with a higher percentage of Native American students compared to the state average, as well as the school's relatively low district ranking, may be contributing factors to its poor academic performance. Targeted interventions and support tailored to the specific needs of the student population could be crucial in improving educational outcomes at Robbinsville Middle.

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.
