Blue Ribbon Schools Program

Former U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige has stated that schools singled out for national honors will now reflect the goals of our nation's new education reforms for high standards and accountability.

The No Child Left Behind - Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private K-12 schools that are either academically superior in their states or demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement.

"In keeping with the principles of No Child Left Behind Act, we will reward schools assessed on student achievement results, not process," Paige said. "Schools chosen for the Blue Ribbon will be ones that are meeting our mission to ensure every child learns and no child is left behind." Blue Ribbon recipients will be national models of excellence that others can learn from.

Of the 50 Private Blue Ribbon Schools recognized this year, 41 of the 49 elementary schools were Catholic schools.  Congratulations to all schools who were honored.
