George R. Robinson Elementary has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top 30% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade.

The school has shown strong performance for its White and Disabled student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 5% of Missouri elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for its African American and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroups has been more variable, an area the school may need to address.
