Ten Indiana schools are being honored alongside nearly 300 schools throughout the country as 2022 National Blue Ribbon Schools. The designation, which comes from the U.S. Department of Education, recognizes elementary, middle, and high schools based on their overall academic excellence or progress in closing achievement gaps.
The Indiana Department of Education and the Council for American Private Education nominated each school for consideration in the Exemplary High Performing Schools category. The category honors schools with the highest graduation rates and the highest achieving students in English/language arts and mathematics.
