Summary

WD Robbins Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Prichard, AL, serving 265 students within the Mobile County district, where about 74% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has earned a 2-star rating and ranks in the 37th percentile statewide, but a closer look reveals some standout strengths that make it a compelling option for local families.

Most notably, WD Robbins excels in early-grade math. In 3rd grade, nearly 58% of students are proficient in math—a full 22 points above the district average and well ahead of the state. This is a remarkable achievement when compared to nearby schools serving similar populations. For example, Grant Elementary School, less than a mile away, has just 4.76% of 3rd graders proficient in math, while Collins-Rhodes Elementary School sits at 14.46%. WD Robbins also outperforms these neighbors by 35–43 points in 3rd-grade English. The school's 4th-grade English scores are also strong, beating the district average by 5.5 points.

However, the school faces challenges in maintaining momentum beyond 3rd grade. Math proficiency drops sharply by 5th grade to 27.78%, below the district average, and science scores lag significantly. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 44% to 16.7% over two years—a huge win that correlates with improved academics. While the school trails the nearby Old Shell Road Magnet School (a 5-star school), it's important to note that WD Robbins is achieving strong results with a much higher-need population. For parents seeking a school that delivers solid foundational skills and is clearly on an upward trajectory, WD Robbins is worth a close look.
