Business Group Lauds 32 Schools

Thirty-two Long Beach Unified School District schools are listed on the newest Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll list of California’s top-performing schools.

The annual list is sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence and compiled by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a nonprofit that applies data science to accelerate student success. The Honor Roll recognizes the top public schools and school districts that have excelled in closing achievement gaps, particularly in historically disadvantaged student populations.

Of the 32 Long Beach Unified Schools recognized, 31 earned the “Star School” designation for high performance while serving significant populations of high-poverty students. The winning schools are Alvarado, Bixby, Burcham, Carver, Cleveland, Emerson, Fremont, Gant, Gompers, Henry, Holmes, Kettering, Longfellow, Los Cerritos, Lowell, MacArthur, Madison, Naples, Prisk, Signal Hill, and Tincher Elementary Schools; Bancroft, Hughes, Intellectual Virtues Academy, Keller Dual Immersion, Marshall Academy, Stanford, and Rogers Middle Schools; and CAMS, McBride and Sato High Schools. Newcomb Academy earned the “Scholar School” honor for high performance and closing achievement gaps. 

ERP manages the nation’s largest database on student achievement, leveraging data science and predictive analytics to identify effective public education systems, practices, programs, and policies that produce the best student outcomes. School districts awarded the ERP Honor Roll distinction have consistently demonstrated high academic achievement, significantly improved over time and reduced achievement gaps among student populations. For districts with high schools, the ERP Honor Roll recognition also includes college readiness measures.

This year’s Honor Roll is being presented in collaboration with business leaders and 27 chambers of commerce across the state, including the California Chamber of Commerce’s Foundation for Commerce and Education, California Black Chamber of Commerce, CalAsian Chamber of Commerce, California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, San Joaquin A+, and other business leaders across the nation.

The complete list of Honor Roll schools is now posted on ERP’s website at edresults.org/honor-roll.
