Roma Independent School District (Isd)

The Roma Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 78 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the Roma ISD stand out as top performers, including Roel A & Celia R Saenz Elementary, Florence J Scott Elementary, and Emma Vera Elementary. These elementary schools consistently outperform the district and state averages on STAAR test scores, particularly in reading and math, and are ranked among the top elementary schools in Texas. The district's high schools, Roma High School and Instructional & Guidance Center, also demonstrate strong graduation rates of 91.6%.

While the district as a whole performs well, with schools generally outperforming state averages on STAAR assessments, the data also reveals some challenges. The schools in the district have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.39% to 92.86%, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. Additionally, there is significant variation in per-student spending across the schools, suggesting the district may be allocating resources differently to address the unique needs of its student populations. Overall, the Roma Independent School District appears to be a high-performing district, with several standout elementary schools leading the way, but there may be opportunities to further strengthen performance at the high school level and address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
