The staff are friendly. Teachers try to have the student's best interest in mind. The building is outdated.

New counslor and principal and it has been great. Staff seems happier and front office is very welcoming. My child wanted and loved going to school this year.

Robinson Intermediate has a new principl and office staff and I can't be happier. I feel welcome when I visit the school and the principal or councelor always speaks to me. My child is a 5th grader and he actually enjoys school and ,this year, looks forward to going.

This school is very unwelcoming to new comers. The campus staff is very clickish. There are some good teachers but the principal and the office staff are very rude. We never felt welcome there. The class rotations were a bit much to for 4th graders I thought. They had 4 different teachers, which I feel at that age they still do better with one or two rotations only.

This campus is fabulous. I have never had any problems getting cooperation from the teachers and other staff....I have always had all of my questions answered to my satisfaction and if the question could not be answered at the time, I always received an answer within a timely manner. I have been on that campus numerous times at lunch and I have seen the bullhorn used....but when there are 50-60 children all talking at one time...how else do you expect to get their attention..... I would not send my child anywhere else....

The experiences my child and I have had in this school have been extremely disappointing. Teacher/Parent relationships are based on what teachers want the parent to know, versus a full accounting or explanation, even when requested. Expect minimal accountability and even less collaboration. Numerous complaints and suggestions for improvement accomplishes nothing.

This school remains a disappointment. I agree with many of the points listed by previous authors regarding lack of leadership and the emphasis on closed minded thinking over intellectual development.

This campus lacks in leadership. They do have many great teachers who love the kids, and strong parent involvement. I am concerned about child safety with unsupervised students.

From the bullhorns used in the cafeteria to control the children during lunch to the promotion of contained thought by teachers, the rules of a sectarian community are being well taught - while this prepares a child for living in a closed-minded community with extreme religious overtones, it hardly prepares them for college prep schools or a moderately ranked college. On the positive side, the school has some very good teachers, but it is evident that there are others that are lacking.
