Summary

Robinson High School in Robinson, TX, is a mid-sized public high school serving 725 students in grades 9-12 within the Robinson Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a strong reputation for consistent academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools.

Robinson High School stands out for its exceptional English and Language Arts proficiency, with recent test scores around 71-77%—far above the state average of 55-60%. This strength is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Waco High School and University High School, which struggle in this area. The school also excels at supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 79th percentile statewide, and maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.1% with a high graduation rate of 94.8%. While it trails top-performing peers like Midway High School and Lorena High in overall rank, Robinson serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (37%), showing it achieves strong results with a more diverse student body.

Despite its overall success, Robinson faces challenges in math, particularly Algebra I, where proficiency rates (50.68%) fall below the state average. The school also shows inconsistent support for English Language Learners, ranking in the bottom 10-36% for this group in recent years. When compared to Paul And Jane Meyer Public High School, a close competitor, Robinson has a lower dropout rate and higher graduation rate, though both schools perform similarly in core subjects. Overall, Robinson High School is a reliable, high-performing option in the Waco area, offering a stable education environment with clear strengths in reading and special education, while working to improve math and support for all student groups.
