Four schools in Hacienda La Puente Unified , with 16,000 students in Los Angeles, received a National Blue Ribbon Award, the most this year from any California school district. The U.S. Department of Education announced the 353 public and private schools winners nationwide, including 33 in California, on Tuesday ( see pages 2 to 5 for California recipients ). A National Blue Ribbon is the most prestigious national school recognition. It is awarded to the highest performing schools as measured by state and national standardized tests and to schools most successful in closing achievement gaps between a school's student groups and all students.
