Robinson High School

This school is the absolute best. I am a military child and I have moved to so many schools. And no school came close to Robinson High School. The atmosphere around you is so friendly and at anytime you can just make a friend in the blink of an eye. The athletics, the music program, and the NJROTC program are a definite impact to any of the student body's life. So far I've read that there are "thugs" and bullies, according to some reviews, at the school. What school doesn't ? In life, you aren't going to encounter the people you are comfortable with or used to. So don't describe this amazing school with those traits. Because this school is capable of making a positive impact in anyone's life. It sure has with mine.. Once a Knight Always a Knight.

From safety point - Worst parking lot drop off situation ever. They have actually set it up so students have to walk in front of and between moving vehicles to get to and from the school in front of the gym. There is no supervision at all in the mornings and afternoons the School resource officer is in his veh. at the far end of the parking lot. It's a pedestrian accident situation just waiting to happen. Kids drive in the exit which is clearly marked do not enter ,but since there is not supervision it has not been enforced all year.

I'm a senior at robinson this year and the school is what you make it . Parents make it seem like the only reason you should go to RHS is if your in the IB program and thats not how it is , RHS has very good teachers and staff . Our school is just as strict as many other schools . Sure our FCAT scores might be low but that has to do with our test taking knowlege not how the teachers teach because if that was true then our teachers have been messing up since first grade when we statred taking pre FCAT it has nothing to do with our short time in high school . But as i said if you come to school prepared to learn then you will that day and everyday but if you dont come to school with that spirit then you wont learn.

Robinson is a great school, however, constantly overlooked because of the other schools and the money behind them. Even with the lower income area, they are the best!

My son is a freshman, and so far we love the school. He was sick and I emailed the teachers for his assignments and they all emailed me back the same day. I am very impressed with the 'small school' atmosphere. Only 18 students per teacher - the smallest school in the County. So far, so great!

I am appalled at the decision by the school's faculty of holding the 2009 graduation on a Tuesday. I cannot think of a worse day of the week to have such an important event for these kids and their families. I find this very unacceptable, unfair and not a family friendly decision. The children of this, as in any other High school in the country, regards this day as one of the greatest day of their young lives. A day that they have looked forward to for the last 12 months to show the world, their close friends and most importantly their family members near and far, the concrete results of their accomplishments. But, it is my belief that, this school faculty's 'thinking' was not even close, about being 'family friendly'. Especially family members that live out of the South Florida area. How about a Monday, Friday or even Saturday?

I have a child both in ib and traditional. I have not experienced any predjuces against traditional from ib. If you work hard enough you can be in ib. If you choose traditional then you work torwards that. I see the principal out in front of the school every day monitoring the students I have never seen that at any other school they have attended. I have watched her run directly torward what looks like any kind of confrontation to protect these students at her own risk which is more than i can say for parents who sit and watch. No school is perfect but I think this is a wonderful school after two years of attendence regarding impotant issues including my main concerns which are safety and learning.

I had high hopes for Robinson with the addition of the IB program and neighborhood changes. However, unless your child is in the IB program don't expect them to get much. Serious behavior problems throughout the school, I've had to call numerous times trying to get help with bullying problems. Many of the staff are friendly and caring, other staff are pitbulls and make it difficult to get information you need. My child's teachers often seem to be just getting through the day and have little motivation or energy to challenge the students. I'm very frustrated by the divide that the addition of IB has created. The IB parents don't hesitate to let you know that they think they are doing the school a 'favor' by transferring their kids from Plant or wherever and that we should be grateful to them. Robinson has so much potential, but I'm really disappointed.
