Glory

For some reason the nations "brickiest" high school doesn't leave you glowing with too much pride...

Your students' achievements are your crowning ones. High test scores earn you a gold medal and a top spot in your state's rankings.

Not one for awards? You sure? That badge sure would look nice on your school's homepage.

In elementary and middle schools across the nation, gold medals are given for everything from stellar STEM programs to recognizing schools that have yucky lunches (that last bit is a joke—we hope).
