See the 7 Massachusetts Blue Ribbon Schools for 2023
These are the seven Massachusetts Blue Ribbon Schools for 2023. Take a look and see if your neighborhood school made the list.
If you’re not familiar, the U.S. Department of Education each year recognizes a number of schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools. They base this distinction on a school’s overall academic performance or on a school’s progress in bridging achievement gaps among certain student subgroups on assorted assessments. This year’s list named 353 schools nationally; 7 are here in the Commonwealth.
From the U.S. Department of education press release: “The honorees for our 2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools Award have set a national example for what it means to Raise the Bar in education,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. “The leaders, educators, and staff at our National Blue Ribbon Schools continually inspire me with their dedication to fostering academic excellence and building positive school cultures that support students of all backgrounds to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.”

As I shared in my piece on the Top 25 Massachusetts school district ranking for 2023, I’m a father of two school-aged children, so these annual rankings interest me. Also, I’m a volunteer with my city’s SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Council), so I see value in all people having information on how school districts perform. Now that you’ve seen the list of Blue Ribbon schools, dig into the Top 25 list review here.
