Plant, Robinson Ranked Among Nation's Best High Schools
Plant High and Robinson High make the U.S. News & World Report's list of the best high schools across the country.
U.S. News & World Report has released its annual rankings of the nation's best high schools, and both Plant and Robinson are on the list.
Plant is ranked No. 22 in the state of Florida and No. 321 nationally.
“We are absolutely thrilled,” said Plant High School principal Robert Nelson, “I feel like I am the luckiest person in the world.”
But Nelson said that he does not take credit for the ranking. Nelson attributed the success of the high school to the school staff and student body.
Robinson checks in at No. 34 in Florida and No. 574 in the nation.
U.S. News evaluated nearly 22,000 public high schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia. "Schools were awarded gold, silver, or bronze medals based on state proficiency standards, how well they prepare students for college, and other factors," U.S. News said on its website.

My expierience with Robinson has been exciting !!! The school is High Ranked and the sports, alumni, education and extra-curricular activities are outstanding ! The education here is fabulous and the Teachers here are dedicated to their jobs and willing to teach the students. If you want your child to recieve a good education in a safe, clean, well-kept and organized enviorment. Robinson is the place !!! The bathrooms here are incredibly spotless and well cleaned up and so is the rest of the campus. Your child will not be disappointed, send them to Robinson and he/she will have fond memories of this place. Robinson is a warm-friendly enviorment with educated students and friendly staff members. Go RHS !!!
