All Roma ISD Elementary Schools Ranked Texas Honor Roll Star Schools
RISD Earns Honor Roll District Distinction

For three years in a row, Roma ISD is recognized by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and the Institute for Productivity in Education (IPE) as a Texas Honor Roll District. Roma ISD is named as one of only seven Honor Roll Districts in the state of Texas for 2018, joined on the list locally by Los Fresnos ISD, Sharyland ISD and Edinburg ISD.

School districts like Roma ISD that earned the Texas Honor Roll distincti on demonstrate consistently high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time and reduction in achievement gaps among student populations. All six of Roma ISD’s elementary schools including, Emma Vera Elementary School, F.J. Scott Elementary School, R. & C. Saenz Elementary School, R. T. Barrera Elementary School, Veterans Memorial Elementary School and Y. B. Escobar Elementary School were additionally named Texas Honor Roll Star Schools.

“We are so proud of all our elementary schools for continuing to achieve such high levels of success,” explained Roma ISD Superintendent Carlos Guzman. “The Texas Honor Roll is part of a national effort known for an extensive and rigorous analysis of student achievement in public schools. We are thrilled that our district continues to earn this recognition and that the teams at all our elementary schools are being recognized for their dedicated effort to ensure the best education for all students in our district. We also sincerely congratulate the students for their hard work, which has earned their schools these outstanding recognitions. We also want to thank our parents for their continued support of the students and our staff.”

Also standing out this year are Emma Vera Elementary School and F.J. Scott Elementary School, which both earned a special designation on the Texas Honor Roll as STEM Honor Roll Schools for the percentage of low-income students that have high levels of math and science achievement. This is the second year in a row F.J. Scott Elementary has earned this recognition.

“This year, the Texas Honor Roll recognized 729 higher performing schools that are distinguished for their academic achievement and for closing achievement gaps,” said Dr. James S. Lanich, ERP President and CEO. “Through national research, we have identified a common set of success factors in higher performing Honor Roll schools and school districts. These include clear, specific learning objectives aligned to college and career readiness, along with evidence-based instructional practices; establishing system-wide mission of college and career readiness for all students; investing in human capital; maintaining data and assessment systems to monitor school and student performance; and deploying resources and guidance to support schools’ efforts to prepare all students for college and career.”
