The Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and non-public elementary, middle, and high schools where students achieve very high learning standards. Michigan's schools are among their state's highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests. Student subgroup performance and high school graduation rates are also at the highest levels.
Public schools are nominated by each state's education department. Non-public schools are nominated by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE).
This year, USED is honoring 362 National Blue Ribbon Schools at a recognition ceremony Nov. 14-15 in Washington, D.C. Each school receives a banner and plaque. The award flag gracing a school's building is a widely-recognized symbol of exemplary teaching and learning. Last year, 342 schools were honored nationwide.
In its 36-year history, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed this coveted award on more than 8,800 of America's public and private schools.
