Wilson Elementary School

Wilson named TBEC Honor Roll School

Woodrow Wilson Elementary was recently named one of the top elementary schools in the state by the Texas Business and Education Coalition, which placed the school on its Honor Roll School list for 2008.

Of the more than 8,000 Texas public schools, less than 4 percent were selected and will be honored at a reception Nov. 10 in San Antonio.

The coalition identifies hon­or roll schools by analyzing three years of performance data for every public school in Texas.

An honor roll school must have a high percentage of students meeting state standards on every TAKS test for three consecutive years.

Honor roll schools also have the highest percentage of students performing at the state’s most rigorous standard, commended in every subject.

The selection criteria also considers the school’s demographics, number of subjects tested and grade levels.
