​
The Honor Roll has existed for over a decade and is administered and awarded annually by the non-profit organizations Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE). The program uses state assessment data to recognize schools that are outperforming their peers in closing achievement gaps and teaching the foundational skills that employers value and look for in the workforce.
Each year, through the Honor Roll, we identify and recognize the highest performing schools in every community in California and Texas. To be recognized as an Honor Roll School, a school must outperform in the core subjects of Math and English, other schools that are like them both socioeconomically and demographically. Schools receiving the Honor Roll designation are among the highest performing schools in their state. They are recognized for their performance in consistently closing achievement gaps for students of various backgrounds. The Honor Roll is the only school recognition program presented in partnership with business leaders and using only student achievement outcomes as the criteria.
