Robious Elementary

Summary:

Robious Elementary is a public elementary school in Midlothian, Virginia, serving 662 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the top 25% of Virginia elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English reading.

Robious Elementary has a predominantly white student population (71.6%) and a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (21%), compared to nearby schools like A.M. Davis Elementary (80.78%) and Reams Road Elementary (82.09%). This suggests that the school's strong academic performance may be influenced by the socioeconomic and demographic factors of its student population. However, the school's lower rankings for its low socioeconomic status and male student subgroups indicate that there may be some equity concerns within the school that need to be addressed.

Overall, Robious Elementary is a high-performing school that consistently ranks among the top in Virginia, with students excelling in math and English reading. While the school's demographic differences from nearby schools are notable, the school's potential equity concerns warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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 Robious Elementary is a wonderful school. The teacher's are terrific educators that genuinely care about the children. Opportunities for parent involvement both in and out of the classroom are plentiful and the teachers and the administration are truly appreciative to the parents for what they add to the school. The school is an Expeditionary Learning School which allows the children to investigate a subject in-depth and honestly learn the material not just memorize facts for a test. In addition, the children are expected to show kindness and generosity towards each other and I have been amazed at the caring environment that my kids get to be a part of every day. We will probably never move from our house for fear of not finding as good of a school for our children. 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.
