Jansen Selected as One of the Top 19 Schools in New York State to Make Significant Academic Progress. The U.S. Department of Education has established the “No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools Program” to honor schools that are academically superior or make dramatic gains in student achievement. “Dramatically improving schools improved the performance of all students to high levels in reading (language arts or English) and mathematics on state assessments.” The Department of Education decides how many schools each state may nominate. For 2008, only 19 New York State schools have been selected to apply for this honor – and the Greater Johnstown School District’s Jansen Avenue Elementary is one of them!
What does this mean for Jansen? Acknowledgement of teamwork, hard work, academic growth and extraordinary efforts! We relish this opportunity to trumpet the accomplishments of our students and staff, aided by the support of their families and the community, in closing the achievement gap.
