Abstract
Although countless research has been conducted linking academic success to everything from in utero exposure to classical music to eating blueberries, there is no exact formula for predicting academic achievement. Community Learning Center Institute (CLCI) is a national leader in leveraging public school facilities to become hubs of educational, recreational, cultural, health, and civic partnerships, which optimize the conditions for learning and catalyze the revitalization of the community. CLCI specific mission goals are divided into eleven benchmark metrics. Each benchmark metric, when combined with others, plays a critical role in a child’s overall success in school. Metrics such as these, which have been studied widely within CLCI, offer insight into each student/ child’s academic success and their standings in relation to each benchmark. The benchmarks are as follows; Kindergarten readiness, 3rd grade reading level, ACT/Graduation, Co-curricular activities, Summer Learning Opportunities, Regular Attendance, Enrollment Stability, Health and Wellness, Parents are Partners, Economic Well-Being, and Schools as a Hub for Community. In order to better understand the needs of a given student, the study at hand was conducted in effort to measure one student’s growth and standing within each of the aforementioned benchmarks. Furthermore, the observation and cataloging of this student’s progress will provide an empirical basis for analyzing a given student’s status and progress.
