Big congrats to Dawes for being one of only 50 schools in the entire state to be asked to apply!

“This invitation-only process,” the explainer continues, “ensures the program remains a recognition of demonstrated performance and improvement over time, rather than a competitive or self-selected application process.”

Criteria for invitation are similar to those for the National Blue Ribbon program -either “Exemplary High Achievement” over time (not just for one year), or “Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing.”
