Piedmont, SC - Wren Elementary School in Anderson School District One was recently recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a 2023 National Blue Ribbon School.
Wren Elementary is one of 353 schools in the nation to be recognized as a 2023 Blue
Ribbon School and one of 5 in South Carolina.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the schools are recognized based on
their overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among
school groups on assessments.
“Wren Elementary is so proud of the students and their academic achievement,” said
Principal Delaney Sutton. “This recognition is only possible with the support of parents,
teachers, the community, and the district office staff who all work together to help every
student at Wren.”
“I am so very proud of Wren Elementary administration, faculty and staff for this
amazing accomplishment,” added Anderson One Superintendent Robbie Binnicker.
“Being named a National Blue Ribbon School is an accomplishment that very few
schools receive. Wren Elementary has worked tirelessly on behalf of students to see
them succeed academically, socially and emotionally. They hold students to a very high
standard and do everything within their power to help them reach those goals. I am
grateful for this administration and staff that upholds our tradition of excellence for each
and every student that enters their doors.”
