The mission of Communities In Schools is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
More than 20,000 Angelenos are entering the economy every year without a high school diploma. At Communities In Schools of Los Angeles, we will combat those statistics by working in partnership with LAUSD to achieve the goal of 100% graduation in Los Angeles.
Communities In Schools (CIS) is the nation’s leading high school dropout prevention organization. Working nationally with 1.25 million students in 27 states, CIS is the only organization proven to increase graduation rates and decrease dropout rates in the schools in which they serve. Since its founding in 2007, CIS of Los Angeles has grown to serve over 16,000 students and families per year at 12 traditional, Title 1 public schools across LAUSD, with 4,260 students having received individual case management.
