This month, that belief and the hard work it takes to make it real was recognized across California.<\/p>\n<p>Seven Rocketship schools earned two exclusive markers of student achievement: the Innovate Public Schools \u201cTop Schools\u201d recognition and the Educational Results Partnership (ERP) Honor Roll. Together, these awards celebrate schools that are not just meeting expectations, but exceeding them for the students who need it most.<\/p>\n<h2>Celebrating Our Top Schools<\/h2>\n<p>Five Rocketship schools were named Top Schools by Innovate Public Schools for closing opportunity gaps and helping more students reach grade-level standards in math and reading.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rocketship Alma Academy<\/strong> \u2013 Top Elementary School for Black students in Math<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rocketship Rising Stars Academy<\/strong> \u2013 Top Elementary School for Latino students in Math<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rocketship Futuro Academy<\/strong> \u2013 Top Elementary School for Latino students in Math<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rocketship Brilliant Minds<\/strong> \u2013 Top Elementary School for Latino students in Math<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rocketship Los Sue\u00f1os Academy<\/strong> \u2013 Top Elementary School for Latino students in Math<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Innovate Public Schools \u201cTop Schools\u201d list shines a spotlight on campuses where Black and Latino students are achieving at higher levels, helping close long-standing opportunity gaps. For Rocketship, this recognition strikes at the heart of our mission: equity and excellence for every student.<\/p>\n<h2>Honoring Academic Excellence<\/h2>\n<p>Two Rocketship schools were also recognized by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP) on its 2024 Honor Roll:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rocketship Mosaic Elementary<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Rocketship Spark Academy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ERP\u2019s Honor Roll celebrates schools that are among the top 20% statewide in English Language Arts and Math, based on multiple years of state data. Unlike the Innovate recognition, which focuses on progress among historically underserved student groups, the ERP Honor Roll measures success across <em>all<\/em> students of every race, income level, and background.<\/p>\n<p>That makes this honor especially meaningful, showing that Rocketship schools are not only advancing equity, but also achieving exceptional results for every child in their classrooms.<\/p>\n<h3>Equity and Excellence in Action<\/h3>\n<p>While the awards are based on numbers, the story behind them is deeply human. These recognitions honor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Teachers<\/em> who plan every small group with intention and heart.<\/li>\n<li><em>School leaders<\/em> who coach for excellence and build joyful learning environments.<\/li>\n<li><em>Families<\/em> who show up, advocate, and partner with us every single day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every Rocketship classroom is a partnership between teachers, students, and families centered on one shared goal: helping every Rocketeer thrive.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThese honors reflect the power of great teaching, strong leadership, and deep family partnership,\u201d said Maricela Guerrero, California Executive Director at Rocketship Public Schools. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re proving what\u2019s possible when equity and excellence go hand in hand.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Building the Future Together<\/h3>\n<p>For us, these recognitions are milestones\u2014not finish lines. We\u2019re proud of what our Rocketeers have accomplished, and we\u2019re even more inspired to continue this important work for our communities.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a tuition-free public school that believes in the potential of every child, <a href=\"https:\/\/info.rocketshipschools.org\/interestform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">come see what makes Rocketship different.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Rocketship Public Schools, we believe every child deserves an excellent education that opens doors to opportunity.
