Summary:
The city of Robinsonville, Mississippi has only one public school serving grades PK-5, Robinsonville Elementary School. This school serves a predominantly African American student population (94.09%) and faces significant economic challenges, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has some positive attributes, such as high 5th grade science proficiency, it generally underperforms compared to the Tunica County School District and the state of Mississippi on key academic measures.
Robinsonville Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is mixed. In 3rd grade, proficiency rates in both ELA (47.7%) and math (27.3%) are below the district and state averages. While 4th grade ELA proficiency (64%) is higher than the district and state, 4th grade math proficiency (34%) is lower. In 5th grade, ELA (53.8%) and math (46.2%) proficiency rates are also below the district and state, though 5th grade science proficiency (92.3%) is significantly higher.
Despite the school's below-average academic performance, it appears to have relatively high per-student spending ($9,769) and a low student-teacher ratio (14.7) compared to the state average. This suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning. The high rate of economic disadvantage among the student population may also be a contributing factor to the school's struggles, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
