by a National Campaign of Business and Education Leaders
May 24, 2018 - Sierra Foothill Charter School has been named to the 2017 - 2018 Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll for its high achievement and student success. This is the second year in a row SFCS has received this honor. The program, sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE), is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes. SFCS is one of 1,798 public schools in California to be recognized this year.
For the second year in a row, SFCS has been named an Honor Roll school by the CBEE, which is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes.

This year's banner has been ordered and will be proudly displayed at the school once it arrives.
The 2017 - 2018 Honor Roll is developed by Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a nonprofit organization that applies data science to help improve student outcomes and career readiness. ERP maintains the nation’s largest database on student achievement and utilizes this data to identify higher-performing schools and districts. Schools that receive the ERP Honor Roll distinction have demonstrated consistent high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
“We are proud to be recognized as an ERP Honor Roll School by educational and business leaders in California,” said Principal/Superintendent Mindy Bolar. “We are thankful for the hard work of our students, teachers and support staff here at SFCS. This recognition is a testament to the sustained focus on academic results and commitment to student success that our entire school community (including parents/guardians and volunteers!) has shown over the years.”
“Educational success must be data-informed,” said Greg Jones, ERP and CBEE board chairman. “These Honor Roll schools and districts are improving student achievement and we have the data to prove it. It’s critical that the business community support and promote educational success as today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce.”
“At ERP we are committed to closing achievement gaps and removing educational obstacles for historically disadvantaged students,” said James Lanich, Ph.D., ERP president and CEO. “These bright spot schools and districts are implementing programs and practices that are improving educational equity and accelerating student success. We need to shine a spotlight on their work and encourage others to replicate it.”
In California, the ERP Honor Roll is supported by numerous businesses and organizations, including Automobile Club of Southern California, Macy’s, Wells Fargo, Chevron Corporation and Enterprise Holdings
