Episode Details

Fresno Unified is crushing early literacy goals—70% of kindergarteners, over 3,000 kids, are mastering foundational reading skills ahead of schedule, beating a 2026 target. Superintendent Misty Her’s turnaround mission is gaining momentum, setting kids up for third-grade proficiency and easing the load on first-grade teachers. The district’s four key goals focus on early reading and intervention, with interim targets to reverse underperformance by 2030. While kindergarten data is strong, first through eighth-grade results are pending for this year’s review. Last year’s progress, including a 5-point jump in first-grader growth, shows momentum—even if full targets remain elusive.
