Equity Team

Reducing the Learning Gap at RHS

Student Connections
Put a sticker under those students with whom
you have made a positive connection. Ask
yourself...
Would they try to friend you on Facebook?
Would they come to you for help/advice?
If they were in crisis, would they ask for
your opinion?

Vision
Rosemount High School is committed to
achieving excellence through diversity
(inclusion) in the classroom and throughout the
school. It strives to establish a climate that
welcomes, educates, celebrates, and promotes
respect for the academic goals, professional
goals (development) and contributions of all
students and employees.

Mission Statement
Rosemount High School is committed to
identifying and eliminating barriers to
educational achievement, providing culturally
responsive teaching and building a genuine
sense of community. We exist to improve
student learning through educational
opportunities that are based on inclusion and
promote equitable outcomes within our
school.

Achievement Gap

Achievement Gap Definition

The achievement gap is the persistent
disparity in academic achievement
between historically racially underrepresented, other disadvantaged student
groups and their white counterparts.
The difference between a childs potential
and his/her actual achievement.
