The school is named after then U.S. Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson in 1927 during the same year Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) was formed. Robinson High School moved to its current facilities at the start of the 1981–82 school year and for 2010–11 hosts about 500 pupils, the smallest PCSSD high school population. The school is often referred to as “Pulaski Robinson.”[citation needed]

Its service area includes portions of Little Rock, Natural Steps, Roland, and the Pulaski County portion of Alexander.[4][5]

Jason Pickering is the school's principal.
