15 Temecula Valley USD Schools Make ERP Honor Roll

TEMECULA, CA — Fifteen schools in the Temecula Valley Unified School District are among California's top-performing campuses in terms of closing achievement gaps for students, according to the nonprofit Educational Results Partnership.

For the 11th year, the ERP has completed its Honor Roll, which recognizes top public schools, school districts and charter schools that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations.

The TVUSD was recognized as a 2025 California Honor Roll District with 15 schools on the ERP Honor Roll list: French Valley Elementary, Erle Stanley Gardner Middle, Bella Vista Middle, Susan La Vorgna Elementary, Temecula Luiseno Elementary, INstead INnovation Academy, Chaparral High Star High School, Temecula Middle, Red Hawk Elementary, Paloma Elementary, Pauba Valley Elementary, Vintage Hills Elementary, Abby Reinke Elementary, James L. Day Middle and Ysabel Barnett Elementary.

This year, approximately 21% California schools made the list, which was released Oct. 9.

The Honor Roll methodology includes figures provided by the state. Data made publicly available by the California Department of Education for the 2025 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) was used to conduct the analysis. Raw data was pulled from CAASPP research files containing both school and district-level results and provided by CDE through the CAASPP results website. Read more here about the methodology.

This year’s Honor Roll was presented in collaboration with business leaders and 28 chambers of commerce across the state.

"Many educators across California are already delivering rigorous instruction that equips students with the fundamentals they need to succeed in the workforce and in life," said ERP’s Chief Executive Officer James Lanich, Ph.D. "The Honor Roll recognizes that work — identifying schools in a diversity of ZIP codes where students of all backgrounds are mastering the core academic skills that will help them thrive in a rapidly changing world of work."
