Communities in Schools Results

By bringing caring adults into the schools to address children's social, emotional, and physical needs, at-risk students have an increased chance of being successful in school and thriving in life.

 
 

We are an in-school dropout prevention model based on six components that are provided on each CIS campus.

In addition to an evidence-based model of program service delivery, our program provides a variety of activities to meet student and campus needs.
