Congratulations to the current Blue Ribbon Schools!
General Program Information

Selection Criteria
Outstanding schools are selected based on either of two assessment criteria:
-
Schools that have at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds, who dramatically improve student performance in accordance with state assessment systems
-
Schools that score in the top 10 percent on state assessments.
