2025 Honor Roll District

The annual ERP Honor Roll program recognized 1,430 of California’s highest performing schools and 109 school districts.

The Honor Roll, presented by Educational Results Partnership (ERP), is part of the national Campaign for Business and Education Honor Roll Logo Excellence (CBEE). The Campaign engages business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems that are preparing students with the fundamental skills needed to be successful in the workforce and in life. The Honor Roll is the only school recognition program presented in partnership with state and local business leaders and using solely objective student achievement data as the criteria. The goal of the Honor Roll is to find and highlight successful schools and districts and encourage collaboration among educators on best practices for raising student achievement. Approximately 21 percent of eligible schools and districts made the Honor Roll list in 2025.

Honor Roll schools and districts represent those that were comprehensively higher performing on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) English Language Arts and Math Assessments, for all cohorts of student populations served, and that are improving outcomes for historically underserved student populations. To make the Honor Roll, a school or district must have comprehensively performed above the mean (trendline) at least 80 percent of the time for all cohorts of students served and for all grade levels served.

The California Honor Roll is produced by Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and presented by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence in collaboration with 28 Chambers of Commerce throughout the state including the California Chamber of Commerce’s Foundation for Commerce and Education, California Black Chamber of Commerce, California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, CalAsian Chamber of Commerce, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, San Joaquin A+, and other business leaders.
