The annual ERP Honor Roll program recognizes the highest performing schools in California.
Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a non-profit organization that applies data science to accelerate student success, has released the 2026 Honor Roll list of California’s top performing schools, and Lafayette School District is proud to be on the list. This is the twelfth year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll, which recognizes top public schools, school districts and charter schools that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations.
This year 168 districts in California made the Honor Roll, approximately 22 percent of the schools in the state. The full list of Honor Roll schools is now posted on ERP’s website at https://www.honorrollschools.com/.
“We cannot predict every career that will exist tomorrow, but we can recognize the schools doing an exceptional job of preparing students for whatever the future holds,” said Alex Barrios, President & CEO of Educational Results Partnership. “At a time of unprecedented technological change, the ability to think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and continue learning will be more valuable than ever. This year’s Honor Roll schools deserve recognition for providing the strong academic foundations and essential skills that open doors to opportunity and empower students to shape their own futures.”
The 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.
