Devers Elementary nominated for Blue Ribbon School

Big things are happening in Devers ISD, and last week the Texas Education Agency announced that Devers Elementary is one of 26 Texas schools nominated as a 2022 National Blue Ribbon School designee.

Devers Elementary will now move on to the next step which begins with completing an arduous application process that is conducted by the United States Department of Education. Criteria for the selection of schools here in Texas is based on student performance in the first administration of last year’s STAAR test, along with some other criteria.

“This year’s nominees highlight the diverse learning environments found across the state, with the inclusion of traditional elementary, middle, and high school campuses, along with magnet and early college high schools. These nominees also represent 12 of the state’s 20 Education Service Center regions, spanning from the Panhandle down to the Coastal Bend and from the Piney Woods of East Texas to the Plains of West Texas,” according to a news release from the TEA.

Designees of the Blue Ribbon School award will be announced in Sept. 2022 and will be recognized at the National Blue Ribbon Schools Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C.
