Coalition of Community Schools Research

The Coalition of Community Schools Research studies how bringing together schools, families, organizations, and community resources can improve students’ academic success and well-being. It examines evidence from various schools that implement community schools models, which provide support services like healthcare, after-school programs, and mentoring on-site. The research aims to identify effective strategies, measure impacts, and share best practices, helping educators and policymakers create environments that address students’ holistic needs, foster equity, and strengthen communities. Overall, it shows how collaboration and comprehensive support can make a meaningful difference in students’ lives.
