2021-2022 Communities In Schools Data Book
This Data Book provides a comprehensive overview of the Communities In Schools network during the 2021-2022 school year, serving as tangible evidence of the impact of CIS nationwide. It presents data on various aspects of our work, including human resources, student demographics, student support, and achievement. The results confirm what Communities In Schools has been doing for the past 30 years – empowering students to stay in school and achieve in life - works.
Our students are showing improvements in behavior and more
Poor academic performance is the most common reason students are referred to Communities In Schools. While this is frequently the “red flag,” it is seldom the only challenge the student is facing. Other challenges include problems with emotional regulation, relationships with peers and teachers, behavior problems, food and housing insecurity, and chronic absenteeism.
Regardless of the reason for the referral, the first step in the CIS model is to determine the underlying causes of problems each student faces. With a clear and complete understanding of each student’s needs, CIS can provide the resources and relationships that empower that student to come to school, stay in school, and ultimately graduate with a plan for their future. Our data consistently demonstrate that we are helping ALL students build their pathways and develop the skills to travel toward success in school and in life.
