Summary

Robious Middle is a 6–8 middle school in Midlothian, VA, serving 1,081 students as part of Chesterfield County Public Schools. The school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in core subjects, with especially strong results in math. Sixth-grade math proficiency stands at 81.1%, compared to 64.5% for the district and 63.2% statewide. Reading scores follow the same pattern, with 7th graders posting 83.5% proficiency versus 70.2% for the district. Advanced math is a clear standout: 100% of students pass 8th grade Geometry and 7th grade Algebra I, and 94.6% pass 8th grade Algebra I. Overall, the school ranks 103rd out of 416 Virginia middle schools, placing it in the 75th percentile.

Robious compares well with schools in the surrounding area. It ranks below Tomahawk Creek Middle (91st percentile) and Midlothian Middle (86th percentile), but above Swift Creek Middle (77th percentile) and well ahead of schools like Tuckahoe Middle (40th percentile) and Providence Middle (9th percentile). Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism is just 10.7%, the lowest among nearby middle schools and well below the district rate of 16.1%. The school also spends efficiently, at $7,864 per student, while producing much stronger outcomes than neighboring schools that spend more, including Providence Middle at $8,602 and Manchester Middle at $8,190.

While Robious is clearly a strong school, a few areas deserve attention. Results for student subgroups are uneven: African American and Hispanic students perform below the school average, ranking in the 49th and 34th percentiles respectively, while White students rank in the 92nd percentile. On-grade-level 8th grade math proficiency is 50.8%, and standard 8th grade science trails the state average at 59.3%. The school has also declined from its former elite status — it ranked 27th in Virginia in 2015–2016 — but has stabilized in recent years. For families, Robious Middle remains one of the stronger middle school options in the region, combining solid academics, excellent attendance, and efficient resource use.
