The Most Important Contributor to a Student’s Academic Success

What is the most important contributor to a student’s success in school?

In Fresno Unified, 80% of students are unable to read at their grade level. Fresno schools are growing their early intervention programs and literacy mentors are providing one-on-one support to students. However, data shows reading skills and educational success are dependent on many factors outside the classroom.

In fact, “parental education might be the biggest factor” in determining a student’s academic success according to a 2022 EdSource article.

If parents are unable to read with their kids at home, don’t know about school events, or are unsure who to contact with concerns, their students are less likely to feel confident in school.

“Schools are doing a lot,” says Sabrina Rodarte, Every Neighborhood Partnership’s Extended Learning Coordinator. “What we need is more support for parents. We need to ask, how can we build up a parent so they can build up their child?”

Working with Elementary Kids Changed This College Student’s Life

Before working with Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP), Sheng Xiong says she felt she was at her lowest point in life. Her job at a fast food restaurant made it difficult for her to balance her college and work responsibilities.

When Sheng received a message to her Fresno State email about an opportunity to work with elementary-aged kids through ENP, “it felt like fate.”

Why Fresno Churches Need to be Connected for Lasting Impact

Fresno has the highest concentrated poverty rate in California, 8 in 10 students are struggling to read at grade level, and many families are experiencing food insecurity.

For those who are led by the teachings of Jesus, apathy and non action are not viable responses to these realities.

“[If you believe] that everybody [is] made in the image of God…You have to care about the people who live next door!

Joe White, Pastor of Neighborhood Church

But where does a church begin to address this issue? How can a church address the struggles our city faces in a lasting, meaningful way?

Put simply, they can’t. Not alone.
