We are proud to share that 23 IDEA Public Schools campuses have been named to the 2025 Texas Honor Roll by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to utilizing data science to enhance student success. This recognition highlights the strong academic results our students and educators continue to achieve and reflects our commitment to ensuring every student is prepared for success in college and beyond.
This is the 11th year ERP has released its Honor Roll, which recognizes public schools, districts, and charter schools that have outperformed their peers on State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) assessments.
Schools are recognized for closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations. The recognition is presented in partnership with the Texas Business Leadership Council (TBLC).

How Schools Earn the Honor Roll
The designation is based on STAAR testing results provided by the TEA over the last three years (2023, 2024, and 2025). 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.
Campuses serving 33 percent or more students identified as socioeconomically disadvantaged are eligible for the Honor Roll distinction, ensuring the recognition highlights schools making a strong impact for students who have historically had less access to high-quality educational opportunities.
A Statewide and National Effort
The program is part of a broader 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.
