we don't let you quit....here is the option.

Dropouts significantly diminish their chances of securing a good job, and, with it, a promising future. And the cumulative costs to society are staggering. Compared with high school graduates, dropouts are more likely to live in poverty, suffer poor health, be dependent on public assistance or enter the criminal justice system.


Communities In Schools builds a support system within schools so students can focus on achievement.

CIS is active in 25 states and the District of Columbia. Nearly 200 local affiliates serve the lowest performing schools and the students most vulnerable to dropping out. Check our list to see if there is an affiliate near you.
