And the Winners Are…Orange County Students!
Orange County ~ California 
Nine Orange County schools were recently named as recipients of the coveted National “Blue Ribbon School“ award. Of the twenty-seven schools named in the State of California, one-third, nine were from the OC, Of those three of the local schools in Northern Orange Co.
· Brea’s ~ Olinda Elementary School

Combined with hard work of the students, dedication of teachers, administrators, parents and the communities, these fine schools received the national nod for outstanding performances.

Success in the Blue Ribbonprogram in Orange County incorporated a countywide focus on the academic standards measured by nationally No Child Left Behind Act. In addition the dedication and willingness among local school administrators to undergo the detailed application and interview process for the award made helped make the recognition possible. The Blue Ribbon program originated nationally in 1982. No doubt we want the best for our children, especially when it comes to education. Yet great schools can be measured in multiple ways. As a long-time Realtor I can tell you the value of a preferred school, or school district can be immense when it comes to the desirability of your home.
