Burchfield Primary receives ASCA RAMP School of Distinction designation
The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) announced Burchfield Primary as a Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP). 
 
The RAMP designation recognizes schools that are committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-informed school counseling program and an exemplary educational environment.  Burchfield Primary is one of 69 schools in 19 states to receive the RAMP designation this year. Additionally, Burchfield Primary received the RAMP School of Distinction award, honoring schools with exceptionally high-caliber school counseling programs based on rankings determined by a panel of RAMP reviewers. The RAMP designation is good for five years. 
 
“We are so proud of Burchfield Primary’s dedication to providing a quality school counseling program to our students,” said Superintendent Sean Aiken. “This designation highlights the hard work of the entire school community to address the academic, career, and social/emotional development of our students.”
 
Since the program’s inception, nearly 1,200 schools have been designated as RAMP recipients. Research findings indicate fully implemented school counseling programs are associated with a range of positive student educational and behavioral outcomes.
 
“This year’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, ASCA executive director. “These schools used data to drive their program development and implementation so all students can achieve success. The RAMP designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to strive for excellence.” 
 
Burchfield Primary will be honored at a recognition ceremony at ASCA’s annual conference in July 2022.
