AUSTIN, TX – Upon release of publicly available STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) data, Educational Results Partnership (ERP) has announced the 2025 Texas Honor Roll list of top performing schools and districts in the state. ERP is a non-profit organization that applies data science to accelerate student success. This is the eleventh year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll list, 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 1,076 schools and 84 school districts in Texas made the Honor Roll. This is approximately 15 percent of all schools and 14.5 percent of districts in the state. The full list of Honor Roll schools is now posted at: www.honorrollschools.com.
Test score data made publicly available by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) for the years 2023-2025 was used to conduct the analysis. To learn more about the methodology used to determine Honor Roll schools and districts, click here.
The program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing high-performing schools and educational systems and to promote the best practices that improve student outcomes. Honor Roll schools are recognized for demonstrating consistently higher levels of student achievement comprehensively across all student populations, improvement in academic achievement over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among historically disadvantaged student populations.
The 2025 Texas Honor Roll is supported by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence and co-presented in partnership with the Texas Business Leadership Council.
“Texas Business Leadership Council is proud to recognize higher performing schools in our state that are preparing students with the skills needed to be successful in a globally competitive workforce,” said Justin Yancy, President and CEO of the Texas Business Leadership Council.
“Many educators across Texas are already delivering rigorous instruction that equips students with the fundamentals they need to succeed in the workforce and in life,” said ERP’s Board Chair James Lanich, Ph.D. “The Honor Roll recognizes that work—identifying schools in a diversity of ZIP codes where students of all backgrounds are mastering the core academic skills that will help them thrive in a rapidly changing world of work.”
“Across Texas, there are schools and systems delivering strong results for students of all backgrounds,” said Alex Barrios, President & CEO of Educational Results Partnership. “The Honor Roll recognizes these schools because they are doing something essential—preparing students with durable, foundational skills that remain valuable in any economy, particularly as artificial intelligence continues to transform the nature of work.”
