While the elementary schools in the Roma ISD are excelling, the district faces some challenges at the secondary level. The high school and middle schools have lower test scores and rankings compared to their elementary counterparts, and the district's overall reading scores tend to be closer to the state average. Additionally, the district's high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.98% to 94.21%, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic performance.
