Schools of Recognition

As part of its annual accountability reporting process, the Department identifies a small number of Schools of Recognition. These schools demonstrate progress toward annual accountability targets, with an emphasis on the performance of all students in the school and the school's lowest performing students group (where applicable). The list of recognized schools also includes those that have been identified as National Blue Ribbon Schools, a national award program.

The schools recognized in 2024 are listed below.
