"I am incredibly proud of the faculty and staff, students, and families at Robinson Middle School," said Dr. Corey Gardenhour, Robinson Middle School Principal. "We are a team which means we all share in the success of our school. In future years, we will look on this accomplishment as the beginning of a proud tradition of excellence. Special thanks go to our Superintendent, ASC staff, Elementary School faculty and staff, Board of Education, and all of those who have put children first at Robinson over the years. Go Big Blue!"
In total, 23,255 middle schools were ranked across the country. The rankings used the same methodology for all included grade levels. For each state, schools were assessed on their shares of students who were proficient or above proficient in their mathematics and reading/language arts state assessments. Half the formula was the results themselves; the other half was the results in the context of socioeconomic demographics; the top-ranked schools are all high achieving and have succeeded at educating all students.
There is no national ranking – but there are distinct elementary rankings calculated at the state and district levels, as well as state rankings specific to charter and magnet schools.
