Ryan Elementary has been named a National Blue Ribbon School, the fifth year in a row that an East Baton Rouge Parish school has received the U.S. Department of Education’s highest honor. The program honors schools that have made significant progress in closing the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and the rest of the student body, as well as schools that rank in the top 10% statewide on standardized test scores. Ryan Elementary joins Shenandoah Elementary, which was so honored in 2006; Glasgow Middle, which got a blue ribbon in 2007; Forest Heights Academy of Excellence and Westdale Heights Academic Magnet, which earned the designation in 2008; and Sherwood Middle Academic Magnet, which received the honor last year. Three other Louisiana schools received the honor this year: Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy in Jefferson, Eunice Elementary in Eunice and Ruby-Wise Elementary in Pineville.
