The Blue Ribbon Schools Program is a national and state program that recognizes and honors elementary, middle, and high schools that exhibit high performance and/ or significant improvement in student achievement.
Reducing the achievement gap for disadvantaged students is also a criterion. Up to six Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools are identified each year by the Maryland State Department of Education.
Maryland's National Blue Ribbon Schools
Each National Blue Ribbon School is selected for its outstanding high performance. Schools earn this distinction by achieving a ranking in the top 15 percent among all Maryland schools in MCAP mathematics and English language arts exams. Additionally, exemplary gap-closing schools have narrowed their performance gap compared to the state average.
