  • Educators and school leaders: Commends teachers, principals, and communities for work that led to national recognition and validates their approaches to improving student outcomes.
  • Students and families: Re-centers a national spotlight on practices that close achievement gaps, a focus underscored by 2024 NAEP reading and math scores for high school seniors falling to their lowest levels in two decades.
  • States and local communities: Encourages continued state and local recognition of exemplary schools and notes that Illinois had 28 schools designated as 2025 Blue Ribbon Schools.
