- On Wednesday,
September 28, U. S. Secretary of Education, John King,
made the announcement!
Saint Paul
Lutheran School, Mount Prospect, IL is designated as
an exemplary high-performing school in the 2016 National
Blue Ribbon School program.
Every year the U. S. Department
of Education seeks out and celebrates great American
schools -- schools demonstrating that all students can
achieve to high levels. The National Blue Ribbon Schools
Program honors public and private K-12 schools that are
either academically superior in their state or that
demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement.
Schools are judged using standards of excellence
evidenced by student achievement measures and
research-based indicators of school quality. For private
schools to be eligible, students in each grade level
must perform in the top 15% on standardized tests. Saint
Paul is one of 50 private schools to win this award
nationally.
