During her tenure, she successfully led the school through the federally funded Turnaround Model of reform, using the PLC process as the foundation for their work. The school significantly increased proficiency rates, and after being named the ninth-lowest-performing school in the state just three years earlier, was recognized by the New Mexico Public Education Department as a Top Growth School in 2012. In addition, Robin was recognized with the Award for Student Achievement by the New Mexico School Board Association for her work with her school community and the advancements in student achievement.
