Regional Target
RMP has set an ambitious target to ensure an additional 71,000 children and young people (up to age 35) who are not currently meeting Cradle to Career milestones, achieve these critical steps for upward mobility by 2030. This target is not just a number—it represents our commitment to transforming lives and strengthening our community.
To achieve this, we estimated and established targets for each Cradle to Career Outcome, focusing our efforts where they matter most and addressing any gaps.
- 4,880 MORE children are ready for kindergarten
- 9,315 MORE third graders read at grade level
- 9,891 MORE eighth graders at grade level in math
- 2,874 MORE high schoolers graduate
- 9,778 MORE young people enroll in a skill training or education program
- 9,940 MORE young people earn a skill or credential
- 24,444 MORE households are employed at a good wage
These are not the only metrics that matter across communities; there are many additional factors that impact a young person’s ability to experience upward economic mobility, which we continue to track through the RMP Scorecard.
We’ve detailed the breakdown of our overarching goal of 71,000 by 2030 for each Cradle to Career Outcome area annually. Our Target for the 2024-2025 school year is 3,398.
