Summary

David E. Robinson Elementary School in Wyoming, DE, serves 514 students in grades 1-5 as part of the Caesar Rodney School District, which ranks 5th out of 34 districts statewide.

Robinson has shown steady improvement over the past few years, climbing from the 49th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to its current 62nd percentile ranking. The school's most impressive strength is its work with Hispanic students, where it ranks 4th out of 45 schools statewide—placing it in the top 10% of Delaware elementary schools for this group. This is a sustained achievement, as the school has ranked in the top 5 for two consecutive years. Robinson has also made significant strides with African American students, jumping from the 34th percentile to the 64th percentile over two years. Chronic absenteeism has been cut in half, dropping from 26.5% to 12.5%—now better than both the district (17.9%) and state (17.1%) averages. The school's 5th grade social studies scores are a bright spot, with 75.4% proficiency, exceeding both district and state averages.

However, there are areas of concern. Fifth grade math proficiency sits at just 31.6%, well below the district average of 45.2%—a gap that has persisted for three years. The school also struggles with White students, ranking in the 35th percentile for this group. When compared to nearby schools, Robinson outperforms Star Hill Elementary School (28th percentile) and dramatically exceeds South Dover Elementary School (6th percentile), but trails Allen Frear Elementary School (92nd percentile) and Major George S. Welch Elementary School (95th percentile) by significant margins. Robinson's student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is the highest among its district peers, which may partly explain these gaps. Overall, the school shows clear momentum and appears positioned to potentially reach 4-star status in the coming years.
