Eleven schools across New Jersey have been recognized with the 2025 New Jersey Blue Ribbon Schools Award, the state Department of Education announced.

The honor given to nine public schools and two nonpublic schools recognizes campuses that either demonstrate high academic performance or show significant progress in closing achievement gaps among student groups.

“New Jersey’s 2025 Blue Ribbon Schools demonstrate what is possible when educators, students and communities work together to support academic growth and opportunity for all learners,” Education Commissioner Kevin Dehmer said in a statement. “This distinction honors schools that stand out — whether through consistently high achievement or by making remarkable strides in closing opportunity gaps.”
