Is Blue Ribbon status a good thing?

It could mean that the academics are better than average, it could mean that there were less than the average number of stabbings at that school. Who knows? Unless they tell you what the criteria are it doesn’t mean much.
A lot of school districts have window dressing schools where the academics are better than other schools. I guess terming them “blue ribbon” sounds better than “we don’t suck so much.”
Schools are like most things in life. He who pays the piper calls the tune, and you get what you pay for. Maybe.
