Last week three Williamson County elementary schools were named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education.
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students either achieve very high learning standards or are making notable improvements in closing the achievement gap. The award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content.
The Williamson County schools awarded the blue ribbon status were Hillsboro Elementary-Middle, Kenrose Elementary and Trinity Elementary. All three were given the Exemplary High Performing School blue ribborn, which means they are among Tennessee’s highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests. Student subgroup performance and high school graduation rates are also at the highest levels.
