Summary

Robson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mesa, Arizona, serving 452 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Mesa Unified District, which is ranked 177 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robson Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Robson's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with the largest gaps in 3rd and 6th grade math. The school's student group performance is also concerning, with several subgroups ranking in the bottom half or quarter of Arizona elementary schools. Additionally, Robson has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 28.57% in 2021-2022 to 73.77% in 2022-2023.

When comparing Robson Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that Robson is underperforming. For instance, Franklin Accelerated Academy - East Campus, which is less than a mile away, consistently outperforms Robson in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subjects. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies are contributing to Robson's struggles. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on the unique needs of the school and its students.
