Schools Where Every Child Belongs and Every Child Thrives

Community Schools improve student outcomes by transforming high-poverty public schools into resource hubs that offer a range of supports and opportunities to children, families and the surrounding neighborhood. These vital supports include:

• basic needs supports such as food, clothing and toiletries
• connections to critical resources such as healthcare and housing
• on-site physical, mental and behavioral health services
• academic engagement experiences such as field trips and after-school programming
• parent engagement workshops and activities

 

Community Schools Work

Community Schools report:

• Improved reading and math scores
• Increased student attendance
• More parent engagement
• Increased student participation

Community Schools serve approximately 20,000 students in 31 schools in Allentown, Bangor Area, Bethlehem Area, Easton Area and Panther Valley School Districts.
