The Honor Roll, presented by Educational Results Partnership (ERP), is part of the national Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE). The Campaign engages business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems that are preparing students with the fundamental skills needed to be successful in the workforce and in life. The Honor Roll is the only school recognition program presented in partnership with state and local business leaders and using solely objective student achievement data as the criteria. The goal of the Honor Roll is to find and highlight successful schools and districts and encourage collaboration among educators on best practices for raising student achievement. Approximately 17% of eligible schools and 14% of eligible districts made the Honor Roll list.
Honor Roll schools and districts represent those that were comprehensively higher performing on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) English Language Arts and Math Assessments, for all cohorts of student populations served, and that are improving outcomes for historically underserved student populations. To make the Honor Roll, a school or district must have comprehensively performed above the mean (trendline) at least 80 percent of the time for all cohorts of students served and for all grade levels served.
