Clifton Named by NCEA as one of HISD's Campuses of Highest-Performing Public Schools!

Nineteen HISD schools made the National Center for Educational Achievement’s (NCEA, formerly known as “Just for the Kids”) annual list of highest-performing schools in all subject areas, and Clifton was recognized as one of the district’s schools that made the highest-performing list in at least one subject area.

The schools identified by NCEA are those that exhibit outstanding performance across multiple grades and years. The elementary grades were separated because “growth” was included in the fourth- and fifth-grade analyses, but not in the third-grade analysis, since students are not tested prior to third grade. NCEA's analyses included student test results from the spring of 2006, 2007, and 2008.
