Garland Independent School District is celebrating a significant milestone: Ten schools have earned a spot on the annual Texas Honor Roll, presented by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP). The recognition is part of the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE), which honors schools that excel in preparing students for future success.
The Texas Honor Roll is a unique program that celebrates high-performing schools in partnership with state and local business leaders. It focuses solely on objective student achievement data, spotlighting successful schools and districts and encouraging educators to collaborate on the best practices for boosting student achievement.
Garland ISD’s ten Honor Roll schools stood out for their superior performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) in Reading, Language Arts, and Math. These schools demonstrated excellence across all student groups and made significant strides in improving outcomes for historically underserved populations.
Earning a spot on the Texas Honor Roll is a remarkable achievement that highlights the exceptional performance of these schools. Only 12% of eligible schools and 10% of eligible districts statewide qualified for selection this year. To qualify, schools and districts must consistently perform above the average at least 80% of the time for all student groups and grade levels. The analysis, conducted using publicly available data from the Texas Education Agency (TEA), ensures fair comparisons by grouping schools and districts with similar demographics.
This recognition demonstrates Garland ISD’s continued commitment to educational excellence and its dedication to fostering student success. By making the Honor Roll, these schools set an example and provide valuable insights into effective educational strategies.
Congratulations to the following Garland ISD schools now on the Texas Honor Roll:
- Austin Academy for Excellence
- Classical Center at Brandenburg Middle School
