Schools in Urbandale, Grinnell, Holstein, Sioux City and Clinton earn Blue Ribbon status

September 29, 2015 By Matt Kelley

Blue-Ribbon-SchoolsFive schools in Iowa will be honored in a ceremony in the nation’s capital later this year. The U.S. Department of Education today named 335 public and private schools in 44 states as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2015.

The Iowa schools chosen are Urbandale’s Webster Elementary School, Grinnell’s Davis Elementary School, Holstein’s Ridge View High School, Sioux City’s Sunnyside Elementary School and Clinton’s Whittier Elementary School. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan revealed the list of National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2015 in a video message.

The award is based on a school’s overall academic excellence or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. “This honor recognizes your students’ accomplishments and the amazing hard work and dedication that went in to their success,” Duncan said. Representatives from each of the five Iowa schools are invited to a recognition ceremony on November 9th and 10th in Washington, D.C.
