No Child Left Behind ~ Blue Ribbon Schools
2010

La Vega Elementary was among the 25 Texas public schools that were recently announced as the 2010 Blue Ribbon Schools by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The award honors schools that achieved academic excellence or made significant progress in closing the achievement gap.

The campuses selected have met one of two criteria:

• schools that dramatically improve student performance to high levels on state tests;
• schools whose students achieve in the top 10 percent of their state on state tests.

The schools selected have demonstrated success in closing the achievement gap and each school has an economically disadvantaged population of 40 percent or greater. Schools that receive the award serve as models of best practices for schools across the state.

Schools that receive the prestigious award will be recognized at the Blue Ribbon Schools conference in Washington, D.C., where each recipient will receive a plaque and a flag signifying their status as a Blue Ribbon School.

Congratulations to La Vega Elementary School!
