Proven Results
A five-year, independent study conducted by ICF International—the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted—has established that Communities In Schools is the most effective dropout prevention program in America. The study found that CIS is the ONLY dropout prevention program in the nation proven to increase graduation rates, graduating students on time with a high school diploma.
Other ICF findings include
- that Communities In Schools’ model resulted in the strongest reduction in dropout rates of any existing fully scaled dropout prevention program that has been evaluated;
- that Communities In Schools is unique in having an effect on both reducing dropout rates and increasing graduation rates;
- and that the Communities In Schools model is effective across states, school settings, grade levels and student ethnicities.
Simply put: Communities In Schools works.
