The 2024 National Blue Ribbon Schools reflect the full diversity of American education and serve students from all backgrounds. While awardees represent a wide array of schools, they share common traits. National Blue Ribbon Schools are led by leaders who articulate a clear vision of instructional excellence and uphold high standards. They showcase effective teaching methods and offer robust professional development for their staff. Data-driven instruction is a hallmark of Edgemont, and there is a concerted effort to ensure every student succeeds. Collaboration among families, communities, and educators is a key component of Edgemont’s success.

Only 420 schools may be nominated each year. It is an incredible honor for Edgemont to be recognized as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School. For more information on the US Department of Education Blue Ribbon School award, check out the link below.
