Summary:
The city of Roma, Texas is home to 8 schools that are part of the Roma Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 78 out of 961 school districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district serves students from elementary through high school, with 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools.
Several schools in the Roma ISD stand out for their exceptional performance. Emma Vera Elementary is ranked 4th out of 4,675 elementary schools in Texas and has over 90% of students proficient or better in reading and math. Florence J Scott Elementary and Roel A & Celia R Saenz Elementary are also highly ranked, with over 80% and 75% of students, respectively, proficient or better in core subjects. The district's high schools, Roma High School and the Instructional & Guidance Center, both have impressive 91.6% four-year graduation rates.
While the Roma ISD schools generally outperform state averages, the district faces challenges common to many economically disadvantaged areas, with 80-93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the district's ability to maintain strong academic outcomes, particularly at the elementary level, is noteworthy and suggests effective support for its students. The wide range in spending per student, from $9,599 to $257,255, and the relatively low student-teacher ratios may be contributing factors to the district's success.
