Changing the Course of Student Lives
CIS Results in Nevada
With the goal of keeping students in school while surrounding them with a caring community, CIS of Nevada is proud of its results and the real-world impact we have on their lives.
Our program currently serves more than 100,000 students in 118 schools throughout Nevada.
We are partnered with 82 schools in Southern Nevada, 16 schools in Northeastern Nevada and 20 schools in Western Nevada. By providing resources and opportunities, we’re helping fill the opportunity gap one student at a time. Our individualized programs work from a scientifically proven model that has led to measurably improved behavior and attendance and boosted career readiness, as you’ll see below.
Measuring the Impact of CIS Programs in Nevada
Student & Site Coordinator Stories
There are some things you can measure — graduation rates, attendance, promotion to the next grade level — and some things you cannot. When it comes to the impact of student support services, students benefit greatly from a relationship with their site coordinator. Their social/emotional lives improve, they develop skills to help them succeed in the real world and they are able to start dreaming of a better future. Here are some of their stories.
Class of 2023 Student: Dreshaun
For Canyon Springs High School student Dreshaun, managing emotions and mental health was crucial to his success and academic growth. See how his Site Coordinator Jessica, stuck by his side as he discovered who he was and who he was made to be.
With 9 out of 10 schools in Nevada being a high-needs school, we have so much work to do to reach every student. Our team stands ready to partner with every high-needs school in Nevada — breaking down barriers to student success.
