Summary

Andrew A. Robinson Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 459 students in a high-poverty community where over 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically ranked in the bottom 30% of Florida elementary schools, but recent data reveals a few notable strengths that set it apart from nearby schools, particularly in mathematics.

The most striking differentiator is the school's strong performance in math, especially in 3rd grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 69% of Robinson's 3rd graders were proficient in math, outperforming the district (61%) and state (66%) averages, and significantly exceeding nearby schools like North Shore Elementary (62%), KIPP V.O.I.C.E Academy (47%), and Northwestern Legends Elementary (28%). This trend has been consistent for three years, with Robinson's 3rd graders beating the district average each year. However, the school faces a "Math vs. ELA paradox": while math is a clear strength, English Language Arts proficiency is a critical weakness, with only 32% of 3rd graders proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the district's 51% and state's 60%. This suggests the school has found effective math strategies that could potentially be applied to literacy instruction.

Robinson also shows a relatively lower rate of chronic absenteeism (60%) compared to peers like Susie E. Tolbert Elementary School (76%) and Smart Pope Livingston Elementary (76%), though it remains nearly double the state average. In 5th grade science, Robinson's 43% proficiency rate outperforms several nearby schools, including Northwestern Legends (30%) and KIPP V.O.I.C.E. (18%). While the school's per-student spending ($13,381) is higher than some neighbors, its overall ranking (19th percentile) suggests that how funds are allocated—such as toward effective math programs—matters more than the total amount spent. For parents, Robinson offers a promising math program and a school that is managing attendance challenges better than many in the area, though ELA improvement remains a key area for growth.
