No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools Program
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige has established the No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools Program to honor those elementary and secondary schools in the United States that make significant progress in closing the achievement gap or whose students achieve at very high levels. The program recognizes and presents as models elementary and secondary schools that meet either of two assessment criteria. First, it recognizes schools that have at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that dramatically improve student performance to high levels on standardized national or state assessments. Second, it recognizes schools that, regardless of the background of the students in the school, are in the top 10 percent of schools in the nation (as measured by standardized national assessments) or in the state (as measured by standardized state assessments). These No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, DC, in the fall of 2003.
