Summary:
In zip code 78584, there is one middle school, Roma Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Roma, Texas, a community where over 90% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Roma Middle is part of the highly-rated Roma Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 6% of all Texas districts. The school itself has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1 and spends $11,581 per student. Its state ranking has stabilized in the 65th to 67th percentile over the last two years, after peaking in the 73rd percentile in 2023-2024. The school's standout strength is 8th-grade math, where 82.59% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically outperforming the state average of 47.24%. However, performance varies significantly by subject: 8th-grade social studies is a notable weakness at just 27.17% proficient, while 8th-grade reading (56.69%) and 7th-grade math (41.49%) show mixed results. The school also saw a puzzling decline in 7th-grade math from 56.8% to 41.49% year-over-year.
Despite high poverty levels, Roma Middle demonstrates resilience with a low dropout rate of 0.5% and outperforms its district average in nearly every subject and grade level. The school appears particularly effective at accelerating math learning between 6th and 8th grade, as 6th-grade math proficiency (32.95%) is below the state average while 8th-grade math is exceptional. This suggests targeted instruction and resource allocation are working well in certain areas, though the inconsistency across subjects and grades indicates room for improvement in curriculum balance and support for all students.
