Summary

Robbie Hall Parker School is an elementary school in Clinton Township, MI, serving 337 students in grades PK-5 within the Clintondale Community Schools district, where 90.8% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Parents should know that Robbie Hall Parker is facing significant challenges right now. The most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism—57.5% of students missed substantial amounts of school in 2024-2025, more than double the state average of 27.9% and far higher than nearby Charles C McGlinnen School (37.8%), which serves a similar population just over a mile away. This attendance crisis directly impacts learning. Test scores are critically low across all subjects and grade levels. For example, only 5.66% of 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to the state average of 32.2%. Even the school's strongest recent result—19.6% proficiency in 5th-grade ELA in 2023-2024—remains well below state expectations. The school ranks in the bottom 2nd percentile statewide, and performance is consistently low for all student groups.

What makes this situation particularly frustrating for families is that Robbie Hall Parker spends $17,262 per student—more than higher-performing nearby schools like Walt Disney Elementary ($13,977) and Masonic Heights Elementary ($13,052)—yet achieves results that are often 3 to 5 times lower. The contrast with Charles C McGlinnen is especially telling: in 4th-grade ELA, McGlinnen posts 38.1% proficiency versus Parker's 9.26%, despite both schools serving high-needs populations in the same district. This suggests school-specific factors like culture, leadership, or community engagement play a major role. The good news is that some grade levels have shown they can reach nearly 20% proficiency, proving improvement is possible with targeted interventions focused on attendance and foundational skills.
