This month, the California Department of Education released the 2025 CAASPP results, which measure student progress in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all public schools. Using this newly released data, the nonprofit data science organization Educational Results Partnership (ERP) conducted an in-depth analysis to identify schools and districts demonstrating strong, consistent performance across all student groups—not just those with high overall scores. These comprehensive results form the basis of the 2025 California ERP Honor Roll, recognizing public schools that are helping students of all backgrounds achieve at higher levels.
This year, 1,834 schools and 158 districts were named to the California Honor Roll—representing about one in five public schools statewide. Seventy-two of those schools are located right here in Senate District 37, demonstrating that students in our community are making strong academic progress and preparing for success in college, career, and life.
“I am so proud of the 72 schools in the 37 th District whose achievements are being recognized,” said Senator Steven Choi. “These schools have shown continuous growth in achievements, as well as strong teaching and learning practices.”
Educational success is one of the strongest predictors of community well-being and economic growth. The California Honor Roll highlights schools that are proving that equity and excellence can go hand in hand—showing that every student, regardless of background, can thrive when provided with the right support and instruction.
