About Community Schools
The Community School (CS) strategy is driven by strong collaborative partnerships among principals, parents, teachers, and Community Based Organizations (CBOs). The model offers a holistic approach toward improving academic performance driven by parents who are real and active partners in their children's education. Each student is connected to a mentor, club, or social service. The school climate is joyful and positive and includes robust data monitoring and attendance taking practices. Community members spend time at the school, participating in activities ranging from participating in the School Leadership Team (SLT) to financial and parenting workshops. The model construct focuses on aligning regular school day curricula with Expanded and Extended afterschool or weekend classes. An integral part of the (CS) approach focuses on the school becoming a center of school- and community-based services embedded into the school day. These services can include but are not limited to health, mental health, counseling, and academic enrichment.
