The annual ERP Honor Roll program recognizes the highest performing schools in Texas.
SACRAMENTO, CA – Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a non-profit organization that applies data science to accelerate student success, has released its annual “Honor Roll” list of top-performing school districts and schools in Texas. McKinney ISD has been designated with a Star distinction on this list.
This is the ninth year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll, which recognizes top public schools, school districts, and charter schools that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations. The recognition is presented in collaboration with the Texas Business Leadership Council (TBLC).
McKinney ISD was one of three public schools in Collin County recognized. In addition to the district accolade, five McKinney ISD schools were also named to the Honor Roll: Faubion Middle School, Scott Johnson Middle School, Evans Middle School, Slaughter Elementary, and McGowen Elementary.
In total, 835 schools in Texas made the Honor Roll, approximately 12 percent of the schools in the state. The full list of Honor Roll schools is now posted on ERP’s website at edresults.org/honor-roll.
“This year’s Honor Roll shines a positive light on schools where students are learning the fundamental skills that employers value and look for,” said Dan Kinney ERP’s Board Chair. “We are proud to recognize these higher-performing schools and plan on learning about their best practices for accelerating student learning in reading, writing and math.”
The program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and promote best practices that improve student outcomes. Honor Roll schools are recognized for demonstrating consistently higher levels of student achievement, improvement over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
“The Honor Roll is the only school recognition program in Texas based solely on objective student achievement data,” said ERP’s Chief Executive Officer James Lanich. “The goal of the Honor Roll program is to use data to find and highlight successful schools and encourage collaboration among educators on best practices for raising student achievement.”
“ERP is all about improving educational equity and promoting career readiness for all students,” added Lanich. “By shining a light on successful systems and practices, we hope to spark dialogue amongst educators to replicate best practices throughout the state.”
“Texas Business Leadership Council is proud to partner with ERP to recognize higher-performing schools in our state that are preparing students with skills needed to be successful in a globally competitive workforce,” said Justin Yancy, TBLC President.
