The program, sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence, is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes. Westside Union School District was one of 24 public school districts in California to be recognized.
“Our faculty and staff are committed to lowering the achievement gap by implementing programs and practices that are accelerating student success,” stated Westside Union School District Superintendent Regina Rossall. “We are pleased that the hard work and dedication at Rancho Vista has translated to positive outcomes for our students.”
Other schools within the District have also been recognized in the past as an Honor Roll School, such as Anaverde Hills, Esperanza Elementary School, Hillview Middle School and Gregg Anderson Academy.
The 2017 – 2018 Honor Roll Award is developed by ERP, a nonprofit organization that applies data science to help improve student outcomes and career readiness. ERP maintains the nation’s largest database on student achievement and uses the data to identify higher-performing schools and districts.
School districts that receive ERP 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.
