National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has sought out and celebrated
great American schools; schools that are demonstrating that all
students can achieve to high levels. The purpose of the Program is to
honor public and private elementary, middle and high schools based on
their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing
achievement gaps among different groups of students. The Program is
part of a larger U.S. Department of Education effort to identify and
disseminate knowledge about best school leadership and teaching
practices.
