The annual ERP Honor Roll program recognized 762 of Texas’ highest performing schools and 63 school districts. Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a non-profit organization that applies data science to accelerate student success, has released the 2024 Honor Roll list of Texas top performing schools. This is the tenth 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.
This year Los Fresnos CISD is among 63 school districts in Texas that made the Honor Roll. This is approximately 12 percent of eligible schools and 9 percent of eligible school districts in the state. The full list of Honor Roll schools is now posted at edresults.org/honor-roll.
“At Los Fresnos CISD, we are proud to be recognized by Educational Results Partnership for our dedication to fostering a culture of life-long learning. Our district remains committed to not only closing achievement gaps but also ensuring that every student is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to excel among the best in the state. Our Profile of a Graduate is built on a foundation of rigorous academics, personal growth, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, ensuring that our students are prepared to succeed," said Dr. Gonzalo Salazar, Superintendent for Los Fresnos CISD.
“The Honor Roll recognizes high-performing schools where students are learning the fundamental skills employers demand,” said Dan Kinney, ERP’s Board Chair. “ERP is proud to recognize these schools, and we want to learn about their best practices for teaching the fundamental skills of reading, writing and math.”
The program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and promoting best practices that improve student outcomes. Honor Roll schools are recognized for demonstrating consistently higher levels of student achievement, improvement in achievement over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
“ERP is all about improving educational equity and promoting career readiness for all students, regardless of family income, background or ZIP code,” said Lanich. “By shining a light on successful systems and practices, we hope to spark dialogue amongst educators to replicate best practices throughout the state.”
