Robinson Elementary School

The school is excellent; however, the class sizes are too large. The teacher-student ratio doesn't permit the teacher to focus enough attention to struggling students and really challenge the resources of the teachers. I'm thankful to the teachers that work extremely hard, the parents who are deeply involved in supporting the school, and the PTA who contribute to the students' needs and supplement the school's programs. With all that said, it's a wonderful school with an even more wonderful community.

This school is like a private school except it doesn't cost to send your child. The teachers I have dealt with so far have been great. The classes are a bit crowded but with the help of the parents in the community we all help out by volunteering. I can't say enough wonderful things about Robinson!

It doesn't get better than Robinson. The students come prepared, the parents are educated, dedicated, involved, and fun. The teachers are at the top of their game, continue to educate themselves, and are committed to student achievement and success. The Principal is good with finances but more importantly with the kids. He plays sports with them and teaches them respect, responsibility, integrity, and the value of a good sense of humor.

We have lived in several states and my children have attended several schools. None of them to compare to Robinson. It has the best principal, teachers, and staff. I do wish the staff would work together and participate in activities outside of their classroom. As a whole (with notable exceptions) the staff seems to do a careful, creative job with their classes but they don't see the school as a whole. If they did, Robinson would fly.

I am very pleased with the principal Mr. Snyder and all the teachers I have met and my children have had. Coming from out of state I think the children at Robinson are very kind, supportive, and well mannered. The parent involvement is very good, and the parents I met are great! Upper classes 4th- 6th are a bit crowded at 30-33 kids. Although the gate program is a lot of work it is challenging and I would recommend it.

We have two children that attend Robinson. The teachers are wonderful. We love the new principal, Mr. Snyder. The music and science programs are amazing and the kids love them. The level of parent involvement helps to make this a great, well-rounded school.

I think it is a wonderful school, my daughter loves her teacher and the new Principal Mr. Snyder. This school offers music and science to lower grades K-3 where most do not. The parent participation is like no other. I always recommend this school to people I meet.

Very traditional teaching methods. The teachers each have to prepare for and teach all subjects. Teachers often complain about not having enough materials, I had to buy my own set of books to support my child at home. Very little communication with parents. Very difficult to get any support for children unless they drastically fall two grades which is too late for most parents. Large class sizes. PTA has to fund basic budget issues due to state funding problems. Locals think it is a great school, but coming from another state, they don't understand what a grea school is. I am now looking for private schools.

My child only attended 2 yrs of preschool here. He loved going to school and I thought the teachers were very kind and patient.
