Livermore Schools Recognized by Campaign for Business, Education Excellence

Announcement submitted by Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District:

The Campaign for Business & Education Excellence (CBEE) Honor Roll includes public K-8 and high schools that are recognized for demonstrating consistently high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement over time, and reduction in achievement gaps. For high schools, Honor Roll recognition includes measures of college readiness in students.

“This is quite an honor,” says Shari Johnston, Principal at Jackson Avenue Elementary. “Our teachers and staff are hard working and deeply committed to providing excellent educational experiences for our students.”

Through the Honor Roll School program, CBEE identifies and recognizes higher performing schools in the State, particularly higher poverty schools that are closing achievement gaps and those with a focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) proficiency.

The CBEE Honor Roll is the only school recognition program in the State using only student achievement outcomes as the criteria and is a growing resource for all schools to learn about best practices that increase student achievement. CBEE utilizes data from the non-profit Educational Results Partnership, the largest longitudinally linked, actionable school data system in the country.
