Summary

Roma High School in Roma, TX, is a large public high school serving 1,721 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the highly-rated Roma Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 6% of all Texas districts. The school has undergone a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 28th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating after years of lower performance. This dramatic improvement is driven by exceptional strengths in mathematics and support for specific student groups, making it a standout choice for families in the area.

Roma High School's most impressive achievement is its performance in Algebra I, where 75.79% of students are proficient—a staggering 21.76 percentage points above the state average. This far surpasses nearby schools like Rio Grande City High School (43.91%) and even the academically rigorous Preparatory For Early College High School (63.64%). The school also excels at supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide for this subgroup, and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 81st percentile. Given that over 86% of students are economically disadvantaged, these strengths are critical indicators of the school's overall effectiveness.

While Roma shines in math, it has a clear weakness in English I and II Reading, where proficiency rates (57.07% and 55.73%) fall below state averages. Closing this literacy gap could propel the school into the top quartile of Texas high schools. The school spends $12,998 per student, which is higher than Rio Grande City High School ($11,448) but appears to be used more effectively given Roma's superior outcomes. For parents, Roma High School offers a compelling story of rapid improvement, strong math instruction, and dedicated support for diverse learners, making it a school worth considering for its upward trajectory and targeted academic strengths.
