Robert Morris School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages.

In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are above the state average in 5th and 8th grades, but below the state average in 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th grades. In Science, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average in both 5th and 8th grades. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% compared to the state average.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,506 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, which is better than the state average, the academic performance remains mixed. This suggests that resources may not be optimally allocated or utilized. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 55.53% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's performance and higher chronic absenteeism rate.
