FUESD schools named to Educational Results Partnership honor roll

FALLBROOK – After an extensive analysis of student data for every public school and district in California, the following Fallbrook Union Elementary Schools have been identified as clear leaders in getting students to grade-level and beyond and have been named to the 2018-2019 California Honor Roll: Fallbrook Homeschool Academy, Mary Fay Pendleton Elementary and San Onofre Elementary.

The 2018-2019 honor roll recognizes schools and school districts that have demonstrated consistently high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.

The program, sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence, is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes.

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.

The 2018-2019 Honor Roll is developed by Educational Results Partnership, a nonprofit organization that applies data science to help improve student outcomes and career readiness. Educational Results Partnership maintains the nation’s largest database on student achievement and utilizes this data to identify higher-performing schools and districts.

School districts that receive the Educational Results Partnership honor roll distinction 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 Educational Results Partnership honor roll recognition also includes measures of college readiness.

Through national research, they 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 systemwide mission of college and career readiness for all students; an investment in human capital and maintenance of data and assessment systems to monitor school and student performance.
