Four schools in Delaware were named 'Blue Ribbon' award winners today by the U.S. Department of Education.


The program identifies schools that are either high-performing or have raised student achievement to high levels, particularly for disadvantaged students. The program is part of an effort to identify and spread good teaching practices.
The local schools honored:

• Christ the Teacher Catholic School, 2451 Frazer Road, Glasgow

• Newark Charter School, 2001 Patriot Way, west of Newark

• Robert C. Gallaher School, 800 N. Brownleaf Road, Ogletown

• Woodbridge Elementary School, 400 Governors Ave., Greenwood

They are on a list of 304 winners nationwide, including public elementary, middle and high schools as well as Catholic, technical and charter schools.

The awards were announced at a Washington, D.C., school that was among the winners.
