Robinson Elementary

Summary:

Robinson Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 497 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robinson Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low scores on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, and its performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 7.94% of 5th graders achieving proficiency or better in 2023-2024, compared to 26.29% statewide and 22.69% in the Houston ISD. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and students with special needs, consistently performing below their peers at the state and district levels.

Comparisons to nearby schools suggest that Robinson Elementary may benefit from additional resources and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. For example, Woodland Acres Elementary, which is just 1.92 miles away, had 60.78% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading in 2023-2024, compared to only 36.73% at Robinson. Similarly, the Varnett School - East, a public charter school 0.96 miles from Robinson, also outperformed the school in most subject areas, despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
