GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Robinson Secondary School was outstanding. As an alum I look back and finally see how well Robinson Secondary prepared me for college.

My school is very supportive and easy to fit in + feel safe in. The school food is not the best and a good amount of the times the bathrooms are full of people who smoke nonstop, but our school takes care of it. I feel very safe, loved, and cared about. My feelings (along with everyone else in this school) are taken into account and safety is Robinson's number 1 priory

My child is doing great at Robinson Secondary school. The Advisory Program is a wonderful way of teaching the kids to plan for academic success. The transition from elementary school the Robin's Middle School was well done. My child is on an IEP, taking honors classes, and on the honor roll, which s...
