Three Montgomery ISD schools – Lincoln Elementary, Montgomery Elementary and Stewart Creek Elementary – were named 2024 Educational Results Partnership (ERP) Honor Roll schools, which recognizes high-performing, achievement gap-closing schools across the nation.

This is the tenth year that ERP has released an Honor Roll schools list. The ERP Honor Roll program is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes and preparing students with the skills employer’s value and demand. Only 12 percent of public schools in Texas made the ERP Honor Roll, the only award in the state that utilizes student achievement data to identify successful schools.
“This distinction is a direct reflection of hard work from our students and their teachers, and partnership with our families,” Superintendent Dr. Mark Ruffin said. “It’s an acknowledgement of Montgomery ISD’s focus on academic achievement, meeting students where they are and equipping them with the tools they need to succeed. I am so proud of our teams at Lincoln, Montgomery, and Stewart Creek elementary schools for this prestigious recognition.”
Schools that receive the ERP Honor Roll distinction have demonstrated consistently high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
The ERP Honor Roll, sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE) and presented in collaboration with the Texas Business Leadership Council, is the only school award given in collaboration with state and local business leaders. The Honor Roll spotlights schools preparing students with essential skills for success in college, careers, and life in a global workforce and is a valuable resource for all schools to identify successful peers and learn about best practices that are improving student achievement.
