Summary:
Zip code 62830 has one elementary-school listing, Rome Community Cons Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 with 286 students. Its results describe this school alone, rather than a group of schools. The clearest academic takeaway is a split: in 2025–2026, all-grades ELA proficiency was 64%, 7 points above the state, while math proficiency was 33%, 7 points below.
With only one school listed, there is no local peer comparison or area leader and trailer. Within the school, ELA proficiency exceeded the same-grade state result in five of six reported grades, with the largest advantages—about 15 points—in grades 3 and 7; grade 4 was 2 points below the state. The overall math result also hides exceptions: grades 3 and 8 were respectively 10 and 12 points above their state comparisons, though grades 4–6 math results are suppressed. Science was below the state in both tested grades in 2025–2026: grade 5 was 42% versus 48%, and grade 8 was 50% versus 52%. Chronic absenteeism was a relative bright spot at 17%, compared with 24% statewide.
Recent results moved in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 59% to 64%, while the state rose from 53% to 56%, widening the school’s advantage by 1 point. Math fell from 34% to 33% as the state rose from 39% to 40%, widening the school’s deficit by 2 points.
