Few things are more satisfying and uplifting than watching the youth of our community respond to the positive and measurable efforts of Communities In Schools of the Charleston Area (CIS). Our success is most rewarding, especially when the "numbers" reflect the countless hours of personal contact and guidance afforded to students by our concerned community. Let us share a few of those accomplishments with you. Last school year (2010-2011) CIS served more than 6,400 students and their families in 18 low-achieving public schools. About 640 of these students received direct counseling and ongoing CIS support services. The end-of-the-year outcomes reflect the dedication of the CIS staff and their ability to help students achieve. • 93% were promoted (excludes seniors)
