The No Child Left Behind - Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private K-12 schools that are among the top-performing schools in the nation or state, or because they served disadvantaged students and made extraordinary progress in improving performance. |

"Our nation has no greater responsibility than helping all children realize their full potential," Duncan said. "Schools honored with the National Blue Ribbon Schools award are committed to accelerating student achievement and preparing students for success in college and careers. Their work reflects the conviction that every child has promise and that education is the surest pathway to a strong, secure future." Congratulations to all schools who were honored. |
