We are thrilled to announce that 21 IDEA Public Schools campuses have been recognized on the 2024 Texas Honor Roll by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to utilizing data science to enhance student success. This prestigious acknowledgment underscores our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and our mission to ensure every student succeeds.
This is the tenth year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll, which recognizes public schools, school districts, and charter schools that have outperformed their peers on State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) assessments.
Schools are recognized for their success in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations. The recognition is presented in collaboration with the Texas Business Leadership Council (TBLC).
The following IDEA campuses have earned a place on the 2024 Honor Roll:
IDEA Rio Grande Valley:
- IDEA Quest Academy and College Preparatory
- IDEA Frontier College Preparatory
- IDEA San Benito College Preparatory

The designation is based on STAAR testing results provided by the TEA over the last three years (2022, 2023, and 2024). Schools and districts who earn this designation comprehensively performed above the mean (at least 80 percent of the time) for all cohorts of students served and for all grade levels served. The star ranking was given to schools and districts with greater than, or equal to 33 percent of students designated as socioeconomically disadvantaged.
“We are honored to be recognized once again by ERP for our continued excellence in student achievement,” said Jeff Cottrill, Ed.D., CEO & Superintendent of IDEA Public Schools. “The distinction exhibits our dedication to our mission of ensuring that all students, regardless of background, have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for success in college and beyond.”
The program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and promote 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.
