The Texas Business and Education Coalition's 2007 Elementary School Honor Roll has shined a spotlight on Pasadena ISD schools once again. 

Pearl Hall Elementary was named to the honor for the fourth time, while Frazier Elementary boasts first time honors on the list. Pasadena schools have made the honor roll since the award began in 2000.

The award recognizes the state's best performing public elementary and secondary schools. As part of the TBEC award criteria, schools who qualify for the award must be rated exemplary or recognized by the Texas Education Agency, have consistent improvement over the past three years in reading and math and have shown steady or improved overall performance over the past three years.

As a result of its academic performance, Frazier received an exemplary rating from the Texas Education Agency in early August. Pearl Hall was named a recognized campus by the TEA.

The two schools, along with others named statewide, will be honored at special ceremony in Austin in October.
