2008 Honor Roll

CBEE believes all schools can reach high levels of student academic achievement and close achievement gaps. Schools throughout the state are doing it every year, dispelling the myth that high levels of poverty or minority student populations lead to lower achievement.  Our goal is to give these schools a voice so that other schools can replicate their best practices to get all students to grade level proficiency.

Using academic achievement data from Just for the Kids-CA, CBEE identifies and honors the highest performing schools in California.  This year, there are an astounding 911 high performing Honor Roll schools, up from 569 in 2007 and 304 in 2006.
