“These schools show what is possible to make an enduring, positive difference in students’ lives.”

Four Massachusetts schools were among the 2022 National Blue Ribbon School Award recipients recognized this month for exemplary teaching and learning.

Brookline’s Edith C. Baker Elementary School, Acton-Boxborough’s Luther Conant School, Chestnut Hill’s Mount Alvernia Academy, and Saugus’s Pioneer Charter School of Science II (PCSS II) were four of the 297 public and private schools to receive the U.S. Department of Education award.
