Summary:
Zip code 38664 in Robinsonville, Mississippi contains one public school: Robinsonville Elementary School, a PK–5 public elementary school with 380 students in the Tunica School District. As the only school in this area, all attention falls on this single campus, which serves a nearly entirely economically disadvantaged population, with 99.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Robinsonville Elementary School has earned a 2-star rating from Mississippi for three consecutive years, with its state ranking fluctuating between the 33rd and 46th percentiles. The school's greatest academic strength is 5th-grade science, where 74.5% of students were proficient in 2024–2025, well above the district's 62.1% and the state's 66.3%. However, 5th-grade math is a significant weakness: only 26.9% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, a 22.7-point gap below the state average. ELA results are mixed, with 3rd-grade proficiency nearly matching the state in 2024–2025 (48.0% vs. 49.4%), and 5th-grade ELA jumping from 40.5% to 48.0% year over year.
Chronic absenteeism is a major concern at Robinsonville Elementary School, with 32.6% of students chronically absent in 2023–2024—8.7 percentage points above the state average. This attendance challenge, combined with a student–teacher ratio of 14.9:1, likely plays a role in the school's moderate-to-low performance. While the school shows bright spots in science and some encouraging ELA trends, the most urgent needs are 5th-grade mathematics and improving student attendance. The school's stable 2-star rating despite fluctuating test scores suggests that accountability measures weigh multiple factors, including growth and absenteeism, keeping this single-school zip code area squarely in the middle-to-lower range of Mississippi elementary schools.
