The Blue Ribbon Schools Program seeks to identify truly exemplary model schools, not just good schools or strong schools. The program honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools that qualify as either (1) Exemplary High Performing- in the tested year all grades must be among the top 15 percent of scores in reading and math as measured by a nationally normed test or (2) Exemplary Improvement to High Levels- schools that have at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds and have demonstrated dramatic gains in reading and math.
