(INDIANAPOLIS) – A LaGrange County school has received a special recognition.
The Indiana Department of Education has named 16 schools as 2024 National Blue Ribbon Schools. One of them is Meadowview Elementary School, which is part of the Westview School Corporation.
Dr. Katie Jenner, the Indiana Secretary of Education, says it’s one of the highest honors to be named a National Blue Ribbon School. She says it’s only possible because of teachers, school leaders, parents and families who are working together to maximize their collective impact of students.
IDOE and the Council for American Private Education each respectively nominate public and private schools for this honor.
After being nominated, the schools then completed an application detailing their curriculum, culture, leadership and engagement, which was evaluated by the U.S. Department of Education.
Fifteen of the 16 schools were recognized in Indiana were in the the “Exemplary High-Performing Schools” category. This category honors schools with the highest graduation rates and the highest achieving students in English/Language Arts and Mathematics as measured by state assessments.
The 16 Indiana schools are among 356 schools across the country to
earn this distinction in 2024.
