Summary

Robinson Elementary School in Plant City, FL, is a public school serving 522 students in grades PK-5 within the Hillsborough district, where nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This school has historically been low-performing, but recent data shows a promising upward trend, reaching its highest state ranking in years (32nd percentile) and demonstrating strong academic growth in several key areas. The most striking differentiator is its exceptional 5th-grade Science performance, which jumped from 26% proficiency to 72% in a single year—far exceeding both district and state averages and outperforming all nearby schools like Valrico Elementary School and Walden Lake Elementary School.

Robinson exhibits a "late bloomer" profile, with students performing significantly better in 5th grade than in 3rd grade. In the most recent school year, 5th-grade Math proficiency reached 63%, outpacing the district (58%) and state (62%), while 5th-grade ELA hit 59%. This contrasts with high-performing nearby schools like Buckhorn Elementary School, where 3rd-grade scores are typically the strongest. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $15,279 per pupil—the second-highest among nearby schools—and maintaining a favorable 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio, lower than peers like Bryan Elementary School (17.6:1) and Nelson Elementary School (17.5:1).

Chronic absenteeism, while still a challenge, has improved and is now below both district and state averages. However, the school faces a clear achievement gap compared to nearby Walden Lake Elementary School, which serves a more affluent population and consistently outperforms Robinson in nearly every subject. Robinson's math performance is also grade-dependent: 5th-grade Math is a strength, but 3rd-grade Math (55% proficient) lags behind the district (60%) and state (66%), suggesting foundational skills need reinforcement. This contrasts with Trapnell Elementary School, which excels in 3rd-grade Math but struggles in 5th-grade Math. Overall, Robinson's recent improvements, especially in Science and upper-grade Math, signal a positive trajectory, though early-grade literacy remains a key area for continued focus.
