About Robert Louis Stevenson School of The Arts

R.L. Stevenson Elementary offers students a challenging, expansive academic program designed to provide students with learning opportunities over and above those found in a traditional classroom.

VIERA, October 2, 2007 —Brevard Public Schools was notified today that three district schools were named by U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings as 2007 No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools. Port Malabar Elementary School, Robert Louis Stevenson Elementary School of the Arts, and Suntree Elementary School are three of 287 schools in the United States and only 13 public schools in Florida to win this honor. BPS is first in Florida in the number of 2007 Blue Ribbon Schools. The No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools award, one of the most prestigious education awards in the country, distinguishes and honors schools for helping students achieve at very high levels and for making significant progress in closing the achievement gap. “This is a tremendous honor not only for these schools, but for our district,” said Superintendent Dr. Richard A. DiPatri. “We always say that student achievement is our priority, and these three schools are evidence of this commitment. I congratulate the teachers, administrators, students and parents who worked so hard to earn this honor.” The No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools that are either academically superior or that demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement to high levels. The schools are selected based on one of two criteria: 1) Schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that dramatically improve student performance to high levels on state tests; and 2) Schools whose students, regardless of background, achieve in the top 10 percent of their state on state tests or in the case of private schools in the top 10 percent of the nation on nationally-normed tests. Under No Child Left Behind, schools must make Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, in reading and language arts and mathematics. Each state—not the federal government—sets its own academic standards and benchmark goals. The three BPS schools will be honored in a ceremony held in Washington, D.C., Nov. 12-13. The schools will receive a plaque and a flag signifying their NCLB-Blue Ribbon School status. |
