Robinson Elementary

Summary:

Robinson Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving 1,283 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robinson Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (28.14%) and Hispanic (55.42%) students compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency (45.83%) was lower than the CFISD (57.62%) and state (48.85%) averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing well but Asian, White, and English Language Learner (ELL) students struggling.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Emery Elementary and Hemmenway Elementary, Robinson Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower STAAR test scores and lower statewide rankings. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (over 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors, along with the school's declining performance over the past several years, suggest that Robinson Elementary faces significant challenges in improving the educational outcomes of its diverse student body.

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.
