Summary

Robinson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 525 students in Fresno, California, operating within the Fresno Unified School District and facing significant challenges common to many schools in its area, including high rates of student poverty.

Academically, Robinson's test scores are below state averages, with a particularly low proficiency rate in science at 6.78%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 36.9% is nearly double the state average and is a major area of concern, as better attendance at nearby schools like Bullard Talent (9.5%) and Eaton Elementary (18.3%) correlates with stronger academic performance. Interestingly, Robinson spends more per student ($21,333) than many local peers such as Thomas Elementary and Kratt Elementary, yet its results are mixed compared to them.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Clovis Unified district, like Lincoln Elementary, the performance gap is stark, highlighting systemic differences between the two districts. Despite its overall challenges, Robinson shows relative strength in serving students from low-income families and those in special education compared to state averages for those groups, suggesting targeted support is having some effect.
