CIS-C serves in high poverty schools–our students are often those who live in households under tremendous pressure due to:
- Low socioeconomic status
- Historically marginalized communities
- Housing insecurity
- Lack of healthcare access
Crime, violence, and substance abuse are also often part of the landscape. As a result, an increasing number of youth experience:
- Chronic absenteeism
- Low achievement
- Disengagement from school
- Behavior challenges
These issues, along with a lack of access to community services, language barriers, and high mobility are among the major risk factors for dropping out.
We also know that poverty rates in Chesterfield are growing, making the case for continued and expanded CIS services:
- 2023 CCPS data indicates that 41 of the 67 schools in Chesterfield were majority economically disadvantaged.
- CIS-C supported approximately 34% of these low-income students in the 2023-2024 academic year.
