There’s something to celebrate at Ruth Doyle Middle School!
RDMS has been recognized by the Arkansas Department of Education as an Arkansas Gem School in TWO categories–Achievement of All Students and Achievement by Content Area: English-Language Arts. The designation of Arkansas Gem School means that Ruth Doyle Middle School students performed at a high level on the most recent ATLAS assessments.
Our school once again achieved a state letter grade of B, but there’s more to the story than just a single letter:
⬆️RDMS ranks in the top 10% statewide within its grade span on overall achievement in ELA, math, and science
⬆️Total achievement points increased from 168 to 181
⬆️ELA proficiency increased from 54% to 62%
⬆️Math and science achievement also increased over the previous year
⬆️RDMS surpassed the state median in all 3 indicators–achievement, growth of all students, and growth of the lowest 25% of students
⬆️As a result of their exceptionally high level of performance, RDMS will receive a portion of $7 million the state is awarding schools who are leading the way in student learning outcomes
The Arkansas Gem School recognition that RDMS has earned is a reflection of what happens when students, teachers, families, and our entire school community work together with purpose. We are incredibly proud of the hard work, growth, and perseverance of our students and grateful for the educators who make learning and achievement possible every day. Congratulations, RDMS—this is something worth celebrating!

HAPPY NATIONAL CUSTODIAN DAY!
Today, we are celebrating some of the hardest-working people in our building: our AMAZING RDMS custodians!

We truly believe **RDMS has the BEST custodians around. **

🧙♀️🧪 WIN Time was full of witchy fun! 🎃
We brewed our very own potion to make homemade punch popsicles! Then, we mixed water, paint, and dishwashing liquid to create bubbly “potions” for our witch’s cauldron potion art! 🫧🖌️
It was even more fun with our Caring Cats helping us along the way! 🐱💜
What a fun day of creativity, science, and a little Halloween magic! ✨🧙♀️

📝✨ Grammar Gallery Walk! ✨📝
Today, our students became grammar detectives! 🔎📚 They practiced identifying and editing sentences, looking for grammar mistakes and making corrections as they moved through our Grammar Gallery Walk.
Learning, collaborating, and putting those editing skills to work—one sentence at a time! 💪📝
