Robinson Elementary

Summary:

Robinson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Laona, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 163 students. The school is part of the Laona School District, which is ranked 216 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Robinson Elementary has performed well in the past, with a high statewide ranking of 161 out of 1,075 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2015-2016, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping to 861 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024. The school's performance has varied across different student subgroups, with its ranking for white students consistently lower than other groups. Additionally, Robinson Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.3% in 2019-2020 to 16.4% in 2022-2023. The school's test scores in core subjects have generally been below the state averages, and it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.71% in 2020-2021 to 46.63% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Goodman-Armstrong Elementary, Crandon Elementary, and Wabeno Elementary, Robinson Elementary generally performs better in terms of statewide ranking and test scores, but has a higher chronic absenteeism rate. The declining performance of Robinson Elementary over the past few years, coupled with the influence of socioeconomic factors, suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.

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.
