Urbana Middle is the latest FCPS school to earn Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools status! One of 12 Maryland public schools recognized for the 2026–27 school year, Urbana Middle is also one of just two public middle schools statewide to receive the honor! The recognition celebrates student achievement and schools’ efforts to close performance gaps. Urbana Middle is the 18th FCPS school to earn Maryland or National Blue Ribbon status. Congratulations to the students, staff, and families whose hard work made this achievement possible! 👏👏👏
