RMS Learning Goal 2016-2017 Ridgeline Middle School goal: Increase SBA passing rates of 7th and 8th grade cohorts by 10% from 1516 to 1617 in Math and ELA. We believe that each student is capable of meeting academic standards in reading, writing, and math (or their IEP goals) AND that RMS has the power to make that opportunity a reality.
