About Us

 

JROB is an educational oasis with a caring, dedicated staff, which currently serves approximately 1,000 students in grades K-8. Named after a great American athlete, civil rights pioneer, humanitarian and role model, our school community strives to live up to the values Jackie Robinson promoted. The culture of JROB is devoted to instilling a sense of purpose into our students. We encourage them to have a “Winning Attitude.” Accordingly, we stress “Jackie’s Nine”: courage, determination, teamwork, persistence, integrity, citizenship, justice, commitment, and excellence. Our students are college-bound. They set goals for themselves and are given resources to help them reach those goals.

Mission Statement

We are a multicultural community of learners working collaboratively to instill in our students the resources to ask thoughtful questions, the boldness to take intellectual risks, the courage to follow their dreams, a sense of purpose and integrity, and the commitment to life-long learning and responsibility.
