Introducing the New Pioneer Preschool!

Congratulations to our California

2018-19 Honor Roll Schools!

Here's the letter that was sent to our Superintendent:

Dear Richard Sheehan,

On behalf of Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE), I am writing to congratulate the following schools in your district. After an extensive analysis of student data for every public school and district in California, these schools have been identified as clear leaders in getting students to grade-level and beyond and has been named to the 2018 – 2019 Honor Roll. These schools will be recognized in the press as a leader in student achievement and will be provided with a free banner to display at your offices. Also, we will feature your district on ERP’s website where educators, district leaders and policymakers can seek out high-performing schools and districts so that they can replicate success.

2018-2019 Honor Roll Schools:

Barranca Elementary, Grovecenter Elementary, Manzanita Elementary, Merwin Elementary, Mesa Elementary, Rowland Avenue Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle, Traweek Middle 

The 2018 - 2019 Honor Roll recognizes schools and school districts that have demonstrated consistent high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations. For districts with high schools, the Honor Roll recognition also includes measures of college readiness. This year, the California Honor Roll recognized 26 higher-performing districts and 1,831 higher-performing schools.

Through national research, we have identified a common set of success factors in higher-performing Honor Roll schools and districts. These include clear, specific learning objectives aligned to college and career readiness, along with:

• Evidence-based instructional practices
• A defined system-wide mission of college and career readiness for all students
• An investment in human capital
• Maintenance of data and assessment systems to monitor school and student performance
• Resources and guidance to support schools' efforts in preparing all students for college and career
