This is the ninth year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll list which recognizes top public schools, school districts and charter schools in Texas that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations.
This year, 835 schools in Texas made the Honor Roll which is approximately 12 percent of all eligible schools in the state. Results are based on data of student outcomes on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) from 2019 through 2023.
This effort is part of a national campaign to engage 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 based solely on objective student achievement data with the goal being to find and highlight successful districts and encourage collaboration among educators on best practices for raising student achievement.
The Texas Honor Roll is presented by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence in collaboration with the Texas Business Leadership Council and other business leaders across the state.
