5 CUSD Schools Named to ERP Top-Performing Honor Roll
Five Compton Unified School District schools have been recognized on the newest Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll list of California’s top-performing schools. Compton Early College High School, Jefferson Elementary, Laurel Street Elementary, Mayo Elementary, and Willowbrook Middle School earned the “Star School” designation for high performance.
Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a non-profit organization that applies data science to accelerate student success, has released its annual “Honor Roll” list of California’s top-performing schools, in partnership with the state’s business leaders. This is the ninth year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll list, which recognizes top public schools, school districts and charter schools that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among historically disadvantaged student populations.
This year 1,430 schools and 109 school districts in California made the Honor Roll. This is approximately 17 percent of all schools and 14 percent of all school districts in the state. The full list of Honor Roll schools is now posted 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 more about their best practices for accelerating student learning in the critical areas 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 promote best practices that improve student outcomes. Honor Roll schools are recognized for demonstrating consistently higher levels of student achievement comprehensively across all student populations, improvement in academic achievement over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among historically disadvantaged student populations. Data made publicly available by the California Department of Education for the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) for the years 2019-2023 was used to conduct the analysis.
