HILLSBORO, TX – Hillsboro ISD has been recognized as a 2025 Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll District in Texas. The district is one of 85 districts statewide, approximately 14.5% of eligible districts, to earn this recognition by the Educational Results Partnership.
This is the eleventh year Educational Results Partnership (ERP) has completed the 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.
“Being named a 2025 Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll District is a meaningful recognition of the work happening across our schools,” said Darrell G. Brown, Ph.D., Superintendent of Schools. “This distinction reflects the commitment of our educators and campus leaders and the consistent effort our students bring to their learning each day.”
ERP is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and promoting 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.
