In the River Ridge School District, our curriculum consists of a combination of several academic standards. The selection of the academic standards is based on what our professionals have determined that students should know and be able to do in their classrooms. In our selection process of academic standards, our first priority is to provide our students with a solid foundation regardless of the name of the academic standards. Therefore, we prioritize selection of our academic standards based on student need while they are in school as well as what they will need beyond the K-12 system.
The foundation of our academic standards is taken from the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards. The Wisconsin Academic Standards are used as a source in the following subject areas:
• Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources
• Art & Design Education
