No School Alone: How community risks and assets contribute to school and youth success
Passed in the 2014 legislative session, Substitute House Bill 2739 (Chapter 196, Laws of 2014) directs that an analysis examine the effects of community factors such as economic well-being,
safety and family challenges on academic and youth success. In conducting this analysis, the Legislature specifies that existing data sources be used to describe communities, youth wellbeing
and school success. This report addresses:
(a) The prevalence of family and community health, safety and stability factors relevant to
student success
(b) The identification of resilience factors correlated with improved population outcomes even in
populations with family, health, safety and stability challenges
(c) Identification of key community factors that are predictive of community variation in
academic, behavior and graduation outcomes
(d) The value of using existing data sources as a framework to identify and track community
factors
(d) Discuss the implications of the findings for policy targeted at improving K-12 or postsecondary
outcomes.
