Communities in Schools Creates New PATHS to College

Communities In Schools of Central Texas is going to college!

For almost 40 years, CIS has collaborated with school communities throughout the region to empower students to stay in school and on the path to success.

CIS serves more than 64,000 K-12 students—including providing individual case management services for more than 8,400 students—offering critical behavioral and mental health services, academic support, and attendance monitoring to help students reach the goal of earning a high school diploma.

CIS students have higher graduation rates, compared to averages for the region and state. And, the increases are larger when comparing CIS graduation rates to state and regional averages among Black and Hispanic students, as well as students from economically disadvantaged households.

Now, CIS is excited to be bringing our effective, evidence-based case management model to support students at Austin Community College.
