North Shore Senior High School was recognized as one of only six schools on Long Island including four in Nassau County as a Blue Ribbon School. Blue Ribbon recognizes schools in two categories: those with superior graduation rates and test scores, and those with exemplary records in closing achievement gaps between students of different races, ethnicities and economic backgrounds. The Long Island schools were recognized as “Exemplary High Performing Schools.”
Other schools from Long Island included Jericho High, Sanford H. Calhoun High in Merrick, Commack High and Robert M. Grable Jr. Mount Sinai High. Rambam Mesivta High, a private school in Lawrence, also made the list. They are among 19 schools recognized statewide and 325 nationwide.
