The prestigious 2015 California Honor Roll includes 1,714 public schools in California and is issued by Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and the Campaign for Business Education Excellence (CBEE), a national coalition of business and education leaders.<\/p>\n
District schools named to the 2015 California Honor Roll and designated as Star Schools are Allen, Anthony, Cook, Excelsior, Hill, Marshall, Murdy, Parkview, Peters, Post, Stanford, Stanley, and Sunnyside elementary schools; Irvine, McGarvin, Jordan, and Ralston intermediate schools; and La Quinta High School. Star Schools are those with significant populations of socio-economically disadvantaged students that have shown a significant increase in grade-level proficiency over time.<\/p>\n
Bell Intermediate School was named a Scholar School which is designated for schools that are showing significant levels of academic achievement, but do not have a significant socio-economically disadvantaged student population. Allen and Cook elementary schools, McGarvin Intermediate and La Quinta High School were named STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Honor Roll Schools for having high percentages of low-income students and high levels of math and science achievements.<\/p>\n
“We are pleased to be recognized by California’s business leaders for the impact of our mission to provide students with a rigorous academic experience that motivates them to meet high expectations,” said George West, president of the district Board of Education.<\/p>\n
“The American education system has a secret,” said Jim Lanich, ERP president and CEO. "Many schools are doing well and the Honor Roll proves it. Students are achieving at higher levels than anyone admits and more students than ever are succeeding when given the opportunity. All schools, no matter what zip code they are in, can achieve this kind of success.”<\/p>\n
The annual Honor Roll award is made possible by support from numerous businesses and organizations including State Farm, AAA, Macy’s, Wells Fargo, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and several private foundations. Chevron Corporation provided specific support in the creation of the STEM Honor Roll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
