Did anybody notice the featured student on the bb9 story silent yet flipping the bird at the game? She seems bright and we'll directed. Someone might want to do some damage control before that haunts her. No threat here, just honest concern for her.

My son is a junior in the IB program and loves the school. He not only has interesting classes with great teachers, he is able to enjoy advanced classes like Aerospace Engineering, Physics, and High Level Math. HE is able to take numerous AP courses as well. For a kid that is academically focused, this school is fabulous. In all his years here he has only has one sub-par teacher, but all the others have been phenomenal. The education he has received has prepared him for college and enabled him to dang near ace the SAT. About the only negative we have found with this school, is the amount of busy work that is assigned, particularly over the summer. Most of it (like doing hundred and hundreds of annotations) serves no purpose at all. Overall, this is a great school if you are in the IB program.

Guidance is inadequate. Not prepared this year and unwilling to speak with parents about issues. Have personally seen and heard several staff members complain about parent concerns. Athletic dept. Does not treat all sports/activities with the same fairness. Most teachers seem involved, and i know a lot of patents are as well so I'm not sure what the problem is in administration. Also buses are always late and/or double loaded. That's just my personal experience, my child likes it well enough except for the average 4 hours of homework per night but i guess that's what it takes to get to college.

Robinson has an excellent traditional and IB program. The teachers are very determined and help allow students to excel. It has a small school feel with many excellent programs not offered at other high schools, like the IB program and culinary. The IB program offers private school education without a 20k price tag.

The school is overcrowded - desperately needs expansion or hire more teachers. Some classes don't even have enough chairs for students. My son was not able to take foreign language because the school didn't have much to offer and all classes were full. Also the school seems to pay more attention to IB students. School staff are not responsive and rude. The assistant principal doesn't return phone calls. School counselors were not very helpful and answered my questions in very short answer. They also registered my child (freshman) for senior level classes without checking prerequisites. It was a nightmare to change classes because most of classes were full and there weren't much classes for freshman to take. I do not recommend this school.
