National Blue Ribbon Schools Of Excellence

 

Created by the United States Secretary of Education in 1982, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors America’s outstanding public and private schools, and encourages other schools and communities to look to them for ideas and inspiration.

Now officially called the No Child Left Behind - Blue Ribbon Schools Program, it emphasizes student achievement and academic growth, which are the underpinnings of the U.S. Government’s No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
