Best Public Schools in Robbins, IL

Summary:

The city of Robbins, Illinois is home to two schools - Kellar School, a middle school serving grades 6-8, and Childs Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades K-3. While both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals stark differences in academic performance between the two institutions.

Childs Elementary School stands out with significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (57.1% vs 50.6%) and Mathematics (62.9% vs 20.9%) compared to Kellar School for the 2024-2025 school year. This is an impressive performance, especially in math where the elementary school is over 40 percentage points higher than the middle school. In contrast, Kellar School has consistently low math proficiency rates, ranging from 16.6% to 23.8% across grade levels, well below the state average of 38.5%.

Despite serving a more economically disadvantaged student population, with 90% of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to 75% at Kellar School, Childs Elementary School is outperforming its counterpart. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be playing a role in the academic outcomes of these schools within the Posen-Robbins Education Service District 143-5.
