Summary:
The city of Robinson, Illinois is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this district face some challenges, with disparities in academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, but also have some bright spots, such as the strong performance of Nuttall Middle School.
Nuttall Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Illinois middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students excel in English Language Arts, with 68.2% proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Lincoln Elementary School struggles with lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, compared to the district and state.
Across the district, there is a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 25.4% on average, well above the state average. The schools also serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary schools. While the high school and middle school have higher spending per student, the elementary schools receive less funding, which may contribute to the performance disparities. To address these issues, the Robinson CUSD 2 district will need to implement targeted interventions and ensure equitable resource allocation to provide a more consistent and high-quality education for all students.
