Summary

Robinson Academy is a K-8 elementary school serving 708 students in the Long Beach Unified school district, which has experienced a significant decline in its statewide academic ranking over the past several years.

The school's overall academic performance is below both district and state averages, with particular challenges in mathematics and a very low proficiency rate in science. While chronic absenteeism is a concern, it is actually lower than at some nearby schools with better academic results, such as Stevenson Elementary and Willard Elementary. An interesting finding is that despite serving a similar student population, schools located extremely close to Robinson, like Alvarado Elementary and Signal Hill Elementary, perform significantly better, suggesting school-level factors are influencing outcomes.

Performance varies within the school itself, with middle school grades showing relative strength in English compared to the lower grades. The school spends less per student than several higher-performing neighboring schools. The data indicates Robinson Academy faces specific instructional challenges, as its sharp decline in performance contrasts with the stability or recovery seen at comparable schools in the area since the pandemic.
