Summary

Robinson Elementary is a public elementary school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving 473 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Beloit School District, which is ranked 420 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robinson Elementary consistently performs below the Beloit School District and Wisconsin state averages on the Forward Exam, with only 13.04% of 3rd graders, 13.33% of 4th graders, and 18.46% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 14.2%, 20.63%, and 17.53%, respectively. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.6% to 40.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the school's African American students perform relatively well compared to other schools in the state, the Hispanic, White, and Multi-racial student subgroups perform significantly worse.

Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Robinson Elementary (68.71% in 2023-2024), the school's per-student spending ($15,448 in 2020-2021) is not significantly higher than the nearby Hackett Elementary, Gaston Elementary, Todd Elementary, Converse Elementary, and Merrill Elementary, all of which also struggle academically. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism rates and providing additional resources and support for the diverse student population could be key focus areas for improvement.
