The U.S. Department of Education named Coronado Beach Elementary a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School, one of 356 schools nationwide to receive the honor.

Coronado Beach was recognized in the Exemplary High Performing Schools category, meaning it is among the top performers in the state as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests.
