OAKLEY -- Concerned about black students' academic performance, Freedom High School officials have been reaching out to their parents in hopes of closing the gap between them and their white counterparts.
And initial results suggest that the Oakley school's efforts to encourage black families to become more involved in their child's education is making a difference.
"It's a decades-old issue," said Assistant Principal Mike Wood of the increasing disparities in achievement between racial minorities and white students that have prompted many schools -- particularly those in urban areas -- to take action.
Freedom High, which has nearly a 12 percent black student population, noted the problem in 2011 during a routine self-evaluation that's part of the accreditation process. The school made it a goal to focus on black students. A couple of Wood's colleagues talked with school districts around the state that were tackling the problem effectively and a theme emerged: Eliminate the barriers that discourage parents from participating in their child's education.
"We want to make sure that parents don't feel they are excluded from having a voice in the educational system and oftentimes they do," Wood said.
One of those could be the isolation that a black parent might experience if he or she is the only minority at a parents' meeting or other school function, Wood said, explaining that people are less likely to think their contribution matters if they don't feel they belong.
Other obstacles transcend all racial groups.
Some parents aren't apt to contact their child's teacher or guidance counselor because their perception of school is tainted by a negative experience they had as a student, Wood said.
And too often they adopt a more hands-off approach once their children enter high school, mistakenly believing that they are now mature enough to set academic goals and work toward them on their own, he said.
Joselyn Reed, who has a junior at Freedom High, thinks the school also is coming up against a certain amount of indifference toward higher education based on comments she heard at its first meeting with parents in fall 2013.

All aboard for the Freedom Ride to Huddersfield at Sheffield train station (Pic: Guy Smallman)
Freedom Riders and their supporters celebrated the latest victory in their campaign in Sheffield on Monday of this week.
George Arthur and Tony Nuttall were due in court that day to face charges of fare evasion and obstructing the police.
They were arrested during a Freedom Ride protest on 23 June.
But days before the hearing, they heard all charges had been dropped.
Tony told Socialist Worker, Their case would never look very good in court. Their evidence was full of holes. It seems they didnt want the bad publicity and decided to draw a line.
Tony was held by two cops with his head pushed down between his knees during his arrest. Footage of the incident caused widespread anger.
George added, They mustve been worried about the video evidence. It would have shown the brutality of the police.
Freedom Riders have been fighting South Yorkshire councils decision to scrap free train travel for older and disabled people for over eight months.
Their Freedom Rides have seen them board trains to travel for free.

Transformers: Age of Extinction has done bigger box office in China the worlds second-largest film market than in North America, due to major advances in China-Hollywood marketing cooperation, says China Movie Media Group (CMMG).
Michael Bay's fourthTransformers installment racked up $134.5 million in its first five days in China, which is higher than the $121 million it had earned in North American theaters by July 1.
LIST Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
"The cooperation between CMMG and Paramount on TF4 is significant,"Zhang Gen Ming, CEO and founder of CMMG, said in a statement. It marks CMMGs first collaboration with a U.S. studio, Paramount Pictures.
"Paramount created the worlds top film while CMMG[brought] the full range of marketing services for TF4, which helped attract more Chinese audiences to come to the theaters. Because of the efforts of both Paramount and CMMG, TF4 will become the blockbuster with the biggest box office in mainland China this year and we couldnt be more gratified," said Zhang.
Transformers: Age of Extinction was simultaneously released in mainland China and North America on June 27. Although it was only open for four days at the end of June, the movie was the highest grossing imported film in mainland China for the first half of 2014, CMMG said.
PHOTOS35 of 2014's Most Anticipated Movies
CMMG was formerly part of state colossus China Film Group, which carries out domestic distribution, box-office promotion services and movie media advertising as an independent unit, while still cooperating closely with the parent company.
The five-day tally for Transformers: Age of Extinction broke the previous record for 3D fantasy epic The Monkey King and CMMG forecasts that Age of Extinction will overtake the $217.7 million record total in China for Avatar, the top-grossing film of all time.
The movie also broke records for its midnight showing, taking in $3.2 million, breaking Iron Man 3s 2013 record of $1,985 million.

Titanium has been used in jewellery and bicycles, 3D printing and heavy industrial parts, even in the cyborg exoskeleton in the 1987 film Robocop, now moves are afoot to establish a new refining process that could make Australia a titanium leader.
According to Australia's peak research organisation, the CSIRO, Australia has the biggest deposits of ilmenite and rutile titanium's base minerals - in the world. It extracts and refines the material, but doesn't process it in large quantities, missing out on a lucrative revenue stream.
Extracting and refining the mineral sand into the metallic form is labour intensive and wasteful, but titanium's strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility make it ideal for aerospace, medical and sport applications.
CSIRO's John Barnes would like to see Australia step up its role in titanium processing.
Currently 95 per cent of the mineral sand mined is used in an oxide form, the pure white colour crucial in products from paint to cosmetics.

The small fraction that is converted to metal goes through a process that is mostly unchanged since the 1950s. It involves very environmentally unfriendly chemicals and as John Barnes, director of high performance metals at the CSIRO's manufacturing flagship explains, expensive.
"When you're machining away 90 per cent of what you want there's a bit of a perverse relationship."
"The industry average is about 11 to one [raw material versus finished product], so you're wasting well over 90 per cent of what you're buying and it goes back into a recycle stream that doesn't have enough value," Mr Barnes says.

Kayana Szymczak for The New York Times A rescued Kemp's ridley sea turtle at the New England Aquarium Medical Center in Quincy, Mass., where it is undergoing medical rehabilitation. This year the usual trickle of stranded turtles on Massachusetts shores has turned into a flood, and nobody seems to know why.
WELLFLEET, Mass. For as long as anyone knows, young sea turtles have ventured up the East Coast, leaving warm seas to feed on crabs and other prey. And some of them have lingered too long in northern waters and been stunned when the season turns cold.
Around this time of year, volunteers regularly patrol the beaches of Cape Cod Bay to rescue turtles that wash up at high tide all six species of sea turtles are endangered so they can be rehabilitated and relocated to warmer shores in the South.
But this year the usual trickle of stranded turtles has turned into a flood, and nobody seems to know why.
Since mid-November, volunteers on turtle patrol have found nearly 1,200, almost all young Kemps ridley turtles, the most endangered of the six species. That is almost three times as many as in the previous record year, and many more times the number in an average year. More turtles are being found every day.
Most of them have survived, but hundreds have not.
The stranded turtles, typically 2 to 3 years old and each of them between the size of a dinner plate and a serving platter, have stretched the abilities of the veterinarians and volunteers who rescued them, and the capacities of aquariums as far away as Texas to care for the survivors until they can be released.
Bob Prescott, the director of the Mass Audubons Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, who has been saving turtles for 32 years, said he had never seen anything like it. When he started walking the beaches, he said, he would find one or two turtles a season, warm them up and drive them to the Boston airport himself. I would go to Logan and give turtles to the pilot of an Eastern Airlines jet, he said. The pilot would keep the turtle in the cockpit and hand it off to a turtle expert in Florida.
Not this year. One day, 157 came in, he said.
The sanctuary now has about 150 volunteers to walk the beaches, help warm the turtles and drive them to the New England Aquarium hospital in Quincy for further care. The volunteers, using their own cars and vans, put the turtles in empty cardboard banana cartons lined with donated bath towels of every color.

BOMA Fort Lauderdale & Palm Beaches Announces The Recipients of the 2014 TOBY Awards
The high surf that pounded area beaches this week has taken a toll on the towns shore.
At high tide, around noon on Thursday, only a narrow ribbon of sand was visible at the popular Clarke Avenue public beach.
At nearby Midtown Beach, the rock groins were exposed and the lifeguard tower had been moved behind the sea wall. The beach remained open, with hazard flags flying, but few visitors were challenging the choppy surf.
The worst conditions occurred on Tuesday, when the waves reached 8-10 feet tall while sweeping over the offshore reef at Midtown. The surf at high tide blanketed the beach and splashed over the access ramp, lifeguard Craig Pollock said. Lifeguards closed the beach to swimmers on Tuesday, but reopened it Wednesday.
The beach got hit hard, he said.
At Phipps Ocean Park public beach, where the longshore rock works as a barrier against further erosion, sand actually accumulated onto rock that had been exposed.
The erosion was evident in other areas as well. Weve lost some volume, elevation and width, Coastal Coordinator Rob Weber said.
The National Weather Service attributed it to high surf caused by a low-pressure system whipping up the Atlantic waters off the East Coast.
In the next few days, sand that was scooped off the beach may begin to make its way back, he said.
Well have to see what kind of natural recovery we have, to see how much we were affected, Weber said.

Plans to restore beaches in Christchurch by pumping sand from Mudeford Sandbank have been submitted.
Christchurch council plans to pump sediment and stone from the tip of Mudebank Sandbank across the Run via a submerged pipeline to Gundimore and Avon Beach.
The plans have been given to council planners following severe storms earlier this year, the worst being overnight on February 14.
A planning report, drawn up by the council, says that storms during last winter depleted the beaches east of Mudeford Quay, undermining existing walls and groynes.
It adds: Unless these beaches are rebuilt to their design standard, the coast protection structures will be at risk of further damage, potentially putting properties at risk.
If approved, the scheme is likely to operate during the low spring tide between April 15 and 22 next year.
There are likely to be two operations, lasting around two hours each, every day.
And if the weather in April means the scheme cannot go ahead, it will take place between May 14 and 21.
Cllr Margaret Phipps, portfolio holder for the environment at Christchurch Council, said: The beach replenishment scheme is necessary to replace beach material that was lost during the storms of last winter.
The northern tip of Mudeford sandspit is the preferred location to retrieve the beach material from because the sand is of a similar type to that at Gundimore beach. The work will be funded by a grant from the Environment Agency and a contribution from Christchurch Borough Council.
