Wylandville Elementary wins National Blue Ribbon award

Wylandville Elementary School was named a National Blue Ribbon School because of its high performance.
The Canon-McMillan school was one of 304 schools across the country recognized Thursday by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. The award honors schools whose students achieve at very high levels or have made significant progress and helped close gaps in achievement especially among disadvantaged and minority students.
“Schools honored with the Blue Ribbon Schools award are committed to achievement and to ensuring that students learn and succeed,” Duncan said in a news release. “Their work reflects the conviction that every child has promise and must receive a quality education.”

My child used to attend CM until this year. Their PSSA scores were unusually high in comparison with their grades which I would describe as normal. After being told that they were redirected year after year I removed my child and put them in a proper learning environment. Any wonder why there are two Blue Ribbon Schools in CM?
