Florence J Scott Elementary in Roma, TX, is a PK-5 campus serving 550 students within the Roma Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a statewide powerhouse that consistently ranks in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools.

This school achieves remarkable academic results despite over 92% of its students being economically disadvantaged, ranking #9 in the state for serving low-income students. Its math proficiency rates are staggering—reaching 89-91% in grades 3-5, which is roughly double the state average. The school also excels in science, with 5th graders scoring 83% proficient compared to the state average of just 30%. While a slight dip in 5th grade reading occurred in 2024-2025, the school quickly rebounded to 87% proficiency the following year, showing effective intervention strategies.
