Robbinsdale Elementary - 14 consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of South Dakota elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels.

When comparing Robbinsdale Elementary - 14 to other nearby schools in the Rapid City Area School District, such as Meadowbrook Elementary - 10 and Grandview Elementary - 06, it becomes clear that Robbinsdale is an outlier in terms of academic performance, as these schools consistently outperform Robbinsdale on state assessments and have higher overall ratings from SchoolDigger.

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.

Open Quote The Principal here does not listen to parents concerns nor does she even address your questions. This can be extremely frustrating as a parent since she’s the one who holds the power to make positive chances based on parental feedback. The only thing I’ve successfully seen her do for the 2nd year in a row now is boss her teachers and staff around while she continues to stay not involved. However, with everything being said my experience with teachers and staff has been great. My kiddos have enjoyed going here. I wish the principle could get on board it would create an absolutely amazing school. Close Quote

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.
