Vast majority of private school blue-ribbon winners Catholic
Washington D.C., Oct 9, 2018 / 02:30 pm (CNA).- The Department of Education has awarded the 2018 National Blue Ribbon to more than three dozen Catholic schools. Of the nearly 50 private schools to receive the designation, almost 90 percent were Catholic. The awards were made public Oct. 1 in an announcement by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
A total of 349 schools nationwide — 300 public and 49 private — received the honor in 2018.
Of the 49 private schools honored, 44 of them were Catholic institutions, including schools in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. Most of the schools are administered by their respective dioceses.
“The coveted National Blue Ribbon Schools award affirms the hard work of educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content,” said the Department of Education in a press release announcing the winners.
The schools will be honored at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on November 7 and 8.
“We heartily congratulate the 44 Catholic schools that were recently designated 2018 National Blue Ribbon Schools by the United States Department of Education,” Mary Pat Donoghue, Executive Director of the Secretariat for Catholic Education at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, told CNA.
Catholic schools are by their nature “ordered to an integral formation of the human person which seeks wisdom and virtue through the development of faith and academics,” she said.
“The extraordinary work of these schools demonstrates their commitment to this mission and to the important role that Catholic schools play in American education today.”
“As Catholic schools work toward the common mission of integrating knowledge with faith in the lives of young people, the honor of being named a National Blue Ribbon School reaffirms their excellence and showcases these schools as extraordinary communities,” said National Catholic Educational Association President and CEO Thomas W. Burnford in a press release published on the group’s website.
“It is with great joy that we celebrate and witness these schools’ noteworthy accomplishments.”
Blue Ribbon Schools are either categorized as “Exemplary High Performing Schools,” which means they are among the highest-performing schools in their state on standardized tests, or “Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing Schools,” which are are among the highest-performing in a given state at closing achievement gaps between their student body and all students in the state over the past five years.
All of the Catholic schools were recognized by the Department of Education as “Exemplary High Performing Schools.”
Since the Blue Ribbon Schools program began in 1982, over 8,800 schools across all 50 states have been recognized.

Education is a rigged for Catholics system. Should we give a ‘Blue-ribbon” or award to all those Pedophile priests and teachers?
Should promoting creationism and Noahs Ark be a good thing?
Vast majority of world leaders come from these elite,privaledged schools and then placement in Jesuit Universitys(collegiums).
If the commandment is “Thou shall not kill!”………how is a good christian patriot soldier …..”Trained to Kill!!!”…..???????????
How can Mike Pompeo(CIA), be a preacher on a Sunday?……Kill by drone,assassination,or war all week………then preach “Thou shall not kill” on a Sunday……..??
How can you integrate knowledge with faith?……….belief in Evolution , but created by God=Jesus=Holy Ghost?
Standing armys are meant to be in reserve, called up for the defence of a nation, foreigners invading. DEFENCE!!!!
It seems the USA is purely for ATTACK…….and is ANTI-BIBLICAL. Treat others how you would like them to treat you……….is obviously NOT TAUGHT to these catholic elite kids.
