Several Lubbock area public school campuses were named to the 2018-19 Texas Honor Roll.
Frenship ISD’s Legacy Elementary, along with Lubbock ISD’s Honey Elementary, Smith Elementary, Hutchinson Middle School and the Talkington School for Young Women Leaders and Lubbock-Cooper ISD’s Lubbock-Cooper Middle School were among area schools that made the list.
The Texas Honor Roll program, presented by Educational Results Partnership, is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes.
The schools are among 855 public schools in Texas to be recognized.
Schools that receive the 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, according to a news release from Frenship.
“The students, parents, teachers and staff are honored to be recognized by educational and business leaders as an Honor Roll School,” recently retired principal Cheryl Booher said in a statement from Frenship. “We are continually striving to do what is best for students to increase academic achievement and seek excellence, and we are thrilled to see the hard work and commitment of all stakeholders produce such positive results.”
President and CEO of ERP, James Lanich, said that when schools and districts are dedicated to improving the learner experience, the entire community benefits.
“ERP is all about improving educational equity and promoting career readiness for all students, regardless of their family income, background or ZIP code,” he said. “These Honor Roll schools and districts are living proof that our students can succeed when schools are committed to removing educational obstacles and accelerating student success.”
In Texas, the Honor Roll program is supported by numerous businesses and organizations, including the Texas Business Leadership Council, American Automobile Association Texas, Macy’s, Wells Fargo, Chevron Corporation and Enterprise Holdings Foundation.
