Summary

Roma Middle in Roma, TX, serves 776 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the high-performing Roma Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 94th percentile statewide. The school has a consistent 3-star rating and a stable state ranking, typically in the 62nd to 68th percentile, with a peak in the 73rd percentile during the 2023-2024 school year. It serves a predominantly low socio-economic status population, with over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Roma Middle stands out from nearby schools like Ringgold Middle, Veterans Middle, and Ramiro Barrera Middle in several key areas. It consistently outperforms all three in overall state ranking, with a 67th percentile ranking in 2025-2026 compared to their 46th-56th percentile range. The most striking differentiator is 8th-grade math: 82.59% of Roma’s 8th graders were proficient in math, far exceeding the state average of 47.24%, while nearby schools like Ringgold (46.6%) and Veterans (43.77%) were at or below the state average. Roma Middle also excels with high-need subgroups, ranking in the 84th percentile for both Low Socio-Economic Status students and English Language Learners, a testament to its effectiveness despite challenges. Additionally, the school spends $11,581 per student—less than its competitors—yet achieves the highest academic outcomes, indicating efficient resource use.

Interesting findings include a dip in Special Education performance, dropping from the 83rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026, which warrants attention. The school maintains a low dropout rate, consistently below 1% for the last four years, and benefits from being in the stronger Roma Independent School District (Isd) compared to the Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (Isd), which houses Ringgold and Veterans Middle. This district-level strength likely provides Roma Middle with better support and resources, making it a flagship campus within its district.
