2021 Compendium
In 2021, National Blue Ribbon Schools recognized 325 public and private schools for their outstanding work in education.
This year, we honored nearly 800 educators, over 300 schools, and further supported and showcased these schools, whose students achieve at very high levels or have made significant progress and helped close gaps in achievement, especially among disadvantaged and minority students.
