This year, the school also earned the rare distinction of being recognized for *both* Exemplary Academic Growth and Exemplary Academic Proficiency, joining a select group of schools with this dual honor.
The Lighthouse Academic Honor Roll acknowledges schools that excel in state or national academic standards. San Onofre School’s recognition for Exemplary Academic Growth demonstrates a remarkable upward trend in student performance, with measurable improvements in state rankings. Additionally, their achievement in Exemplary Academic Proficiency places them in the top 15% of schools statewide, showcasing consistent excellence in academic outcomes.
Earning Lighthouse status involves meeting rigorous criteria that integrate leadership principles into the school’s culture, creating an environment where students thrive academically and personally. San Onofre’s accomplishment reflects a commitment to using a culture of leadership to drive exceptional academic results, setting a benchmark for other schools in the region and beyond.
This recognition stems from data analysis conducted by Schooldigger.com, an independent nonprofit organization that evaluates schools based on state test data. Their rigorous percentile ranking methodology ensures that San Onofre’s accomplishments are backed by reliable and transparent metrics.
In addition to San Onofre, other schools within the Fallbrook Union Elementary School District have also earned Lighthouse Academic Honor Roll status, including La Paloma Elementary, Live Oak Elementary, Maie Ellis Elementary, and Mary Fay Pendleton School. These schools exemplify the district’s dedication to fostering leadership and academic achievement, setting a standard of excellence for education in the community.
