Communities In Schools is a success in schools—reducing truancy and providing programs that support continued learning, encouraging students to graduate and pursue gainful employment.
|
Two recently released studies reveal that CIS efforts are fostering success for kids.

| • |
A four-year United Way study reports that schools where CIS is involved on a daily or weekly basis experienced dramatically increased attendance and proficiency test scores in comparison with schools without a CIS presence. To view the data from this independent study funded by the United Way,

Similarly, an Ohio State University control group study of Champion Middle School students shows that those attending a CIS 21st Century Community after-school program improved their grades and attendance compared to their non-attending peers.

We are encouraged and gratified that statistical data confirms what we have known all along! With support and healthy role models, all kids can succeed.
