Major Impact

When we say that we promote graduation, it’s with a great deal of confidence. A 2015 gold-standard evaluation of our work confirmed that Communities In Schools of Chicago positively impacts students’ course performance.

This two-year study, led by Professor David Figlio of Northwestern University, yielded evidence that our Partnership Program, which connects non-academic support programs and services to schools, improves student achievement in math and reading. Research shows these are leading indicators for high school graduation.

Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
