Recognized for their work as part of the Leader In Me Program, Blackland Prairie Elementary School was named a 2022 Leader in Me Lighthouse Academic Honor Roll School.
The recognition is based on data analysis from the independent nonprofit Schooldigger.com, a website focused on providing families with reliable data about campus performance. The algorithm scores on a percentile ranking, comparing schools across the state. To meet the academic proficiency standard, a school must be at or above the 85th percentile for the state’s combined proficiency standards. To meet the academic growth standard, the school must be at or above the 50th percentile and have shown a 5 percent growth from the previous year’s percentile ranking. Blackland Prairie’s percentile ranking in the elementary category was 86.89 percent for the state of Texas.
“We are so blessed to serve such a great community,” Blackland Prairie Principal Jesica Cuellar said. “We would not be able to accomplish this honor roll without the partnerships we have with our families! So thank you! We work as a village and serve our students every day. Our students are the leaders of our future, and we strive to empower them to be lifelong learners by using the 8 Habits every day.”
