Joe T. Robinson High School was a great experience for me and my family. The teachers and coaches form great bonds with students, the Driven program is changing the college readiness for the better, and the extracurriculars provide great opportunities for students.

I only been at Joe T for almost a year, and from my experience they're very serious about college readiness. They have the resources to bring in military recruiters, college recruiters, and also stage college trips. The school is not bad at all, they have a lot of work programs too also. I am in the JAG work program and it taught me a lot over the semester. How to write cover letters, resumes, and also had set up interviews for me. The school is a solid 10 out of 10 for me.

My experience at Joe T Robinson is overall okay. A lot of the kids are disrespectful and honestly don't listen. It can be very disruptive in classrooms a lot of times. But there are also good moments where students are engaged and respectful. There are a few teachers who will try connecting a building a good relationship with you. I appreciate them very much and they have helped me a lot since I started attending highschool.

My daughter has had a great experience with AP classes and extracurricular activities. It has a small town school vibe in the heart of West Little Rock. We had many school options and we are happy that we chose Robinson!

Robinson is a hidden gem! The only public school in West Little Rock is a fabulous school! We moved our son out of one of the local private schools in 10th grade. He said he wished we had moved him to Robinson MUCH sooner! The district is getting us new student desks throughout the school, as well a...

I just recently graduated from Robinson. It was probably some of the best memories in my life. A lot of that was because of the opportunities I was given there. It's only bad if you don't take advantage of those opportunities. There are great teachers and students that treat each other like family a...
