Jay Robinson Middle School

Posted March 1, 2008

I can not say enough good things about this school! The teachers are unbelievably dedicated and kind! They truly make the children enjoy learning in a very challenging environment which amazes me! My normally very shy child is excited and happy to go to school ,has made made many nice friends,and doesn't even stress about getting up in front of the class for assignments! We were so worried about the middle school transition but it has been seamless...actually it has been better than elementary school ever was! Three teachers have truly been more than fantastic and need to be mentioned...Mr. Vanderhill,Ms. Merkle,and Ms. Klingler!There is not enough space here to to speak the praises they deserve! Feel confident if your child will be attending this school.You will be more than happy!

My son had no trouble adjusting to middle school at Robinson. Parents are highly encouraged to be involved and volunteer at the school - and they do! The school excels in academics and has impressive Battle of the books, chess and Science Olympiads groups. Teachers are willing to meet with parents to discuss any problems the students are having.

I take exception to the statement of Jan. 6. As a parent who has had one child go to Robinson and one currently attending, I find the teachers there and the administrative staff to be very friendly and helpful. Teachers really go out of there way to be helpful. The adminstrative staff, especially the principal, are very approachable and available.As far as parents being welcome, I feel that parents are encouraged to be part of Robinson . Parents must check in and receive a visitors badge to be in the school. As a parent, I am glad to see that. It dicourages anyone from walking around at will and is one thing that keeps Robinson safe. There is excellnt education at all levels. I am most pleased with he quality of education at Robinson, and I feel that my children have been and are being given excellent preparation for the future.

As a parent who has had one child go thru Robinson and has another child there currently I have found the school to need improvements in several area. The administration and some staff members are not helpful, friendly or even interested in children. The principal is so busy with politics downtown that she is rarely at school and certainly not engaged. Parents are not welcome in this school. On the other hand, the teaching staff for the most part is outstanding and inspires the children. I know there are several who have made life-long impressions on my oldest. The course work is tough but prepares the kids for high school.
