Jonathan Pongco

El Modena HS has been named a 2017-18 California Honor Roll School by the Educational Results Partnership.

2017-18 California Honor Roll School

The Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE) has conducted an extensive analysis of student data for every public school in California.  El Modena High School was a clear leader in getting students to grade level and beyond.  This is the 2nd year in a row that El Modena High School has received this ERP recognition.  Way to go, Elmo!

From the ERP:

Through national research, we have identified a common set of success factors in higher performing Honor Roll schools and districts. These include clear, specific learning objectives aligned to college and career readiness, along with evidence-based instructional practices; establishing system-wide mission of college and career readiness for all students; investing in human capital; maintaining data and assessment systems to monitor school and student performance; and deploying resources and guidance to support schools' efforts to prepare all students for college and career.
