Nine top-performing schools in the Socorro Independent School District have been honored on the Educational Results Partnership Texas Honor Roll for outperforming other schools in closing achievement gaps, particularly among low-income and historically disadvantaged student populations.
This is the tenth year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll in collaboration with the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE) and the Texas Business Leadership Council. The program applies data science and predictive analytics to identify successful public education systems, practices, programs, and policies that deliver the best results for students.
The SISD schools that earned this distinction are Col. John O. Ensor Middle School, Spec. Rafael Hernando III Middle School, Horizon Heights Elementary, Lujan-Chavez Elementary, Loma Verde Elementary, Dr. Sue A. Shook Elementary, Sgt. Jose F. Carrasco Elementary, Sgt. Roberto Ituarte Elementary, and Cactus Trails Elementary.
“Socorro ISD is proud to have nine of our exceptional schools represented on this prestigious honor roll,” said SISD Interim Superintendent James P. Vasquez. “This accomplishment reflects our commitment to providing an excellent education, as well as the hard work of our dedicated educators and students.”
This year, 762 schools and 63 school districts in Texas made the Honor Roll. This is approximately 12 percent of eligible schools and nine percent of eligible school districts in the state.
The annual ERP Honor Roll program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and promoting best practices that improve student outcomes. Honor roll schools are recognized for demonstrating consistently higher levels of student achievement, improvement in achievement over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
